*"We are aware that life is not easy on ordinary Gambians, but that problem
cannot be solved overnight"*
Fankung cum Cherno... it's been 17 years? How much longer do yah guys want
to prioritize the basic needs of the people???
Makes me wonder what vision 2020 is base on and how can it be achieved? The
closer we get the more revelation that things are not going right... Shall
we make a list
- Dalasis devaluation - due to artificial imposition of inflated exchange
rate
- Massive tax evasion from top to bottom due to collection inefficiencies
- 70% Crop failure - due to neglect and poor governance
etc etc...
This is why when you try your best and you can't improve the lot, give way
to others to try and don't impose your narrow vision to nowhere....
Thanks
Demba
