Ms. Joh, thanks for butting in. With all due respect, Ous Ngum did NOT JUST
say what you mentioned. He did NOT just remind Chongan. Ous Ngum accused
Chongan of being worse than Yankuba Touray, Edward Singhateh et al. All week
this is what I have been trying to argue about. Tell me whether it is fair
to accuse Chongan of these despicable crimes without proof.
