Very funny Yero. (: If customized properly donkey-carts are an environmentally-friendly transport vehicle. As long as you feed the donkey and driver. Like you said, the other questions you posed need to be answered to better evaluate this mode of transport for our school children. The question I have is: Has Nana Nana ever seen or ridden a donkey-cart???? Where?

"In the 2013-2014 school year, more communities will receive customised donkey carts to enable more children to reach school. Those numbers will mean an increase on the 1,842 children who already enjoy on a daily basis the services of this innovative means of transportation" (Nana Grey-Johnson, Gambia's Minister of Information). 
 
Wow! We are talking about customized donkey carts. Folks, this is very unfortunate. I have nothing against  donkey, horse or bull carts. I have used all as a youth to help transport things around. But donkey carts as a way of transporting students to school sounds like ridiculous. How many donkey carts? How many donkeys? How many drivers? How many students ? How many trips? How much do you pay the transporters? I guess unless these questions are answered, it looks like this minister is just buying time in his position. 
 
Best regards,
Yero
