My  sentiments  exactly.  The  Problems  at  GRTS  lies  not  in  training
or  financing,  but  journalistic  integrity.  No  matter  how  much
training  the  staff  get,  the  news  will  and  shall always  be  the
same  as  long  as  Tombong  is  at  the  helm.  We  all  know  Tombong  is
a  true  blue  of  APRC  and  being  the  coward  that  he  is,  he  will
never  let  GRTS  broadcast  anything  if  it  does  not  fit  the  whims
and  caprices  of  his  boss, YAYA.

Until  he  stands  up  for  the  truth  and  report  that  which  must  be
reported, I  will  never  take  him  serious  and  this  whole  debate
with  him  is  futile.  I  have  had  oppurtinities  to  listen  to  GRTS
and  its  just  as  lis
tening  to  Radio  Gambia.  What  yaya  did,
workshops, What  other  APRC  bigwigs  did  and  other  irrelevant  news
is  what  you  hear  everyday.  Let  Tombong  tell  us  how  the  student
massacre  report  was  reported  and  the  critical  views  expressed.
For  enlightenment  about  the  Gambia,  never    listen  to  GRTS.  What
you will hear  is  what  YAYA  wants  you  to  know
