George I welcome your idea.We should sent petition to
Gamtel for using the company's time and resources
peddling lies on the L.Intellectual prostitutes like
his nature are only delaying the progress of our
nation.Jammeh, have no sense of direction or clear
political thought before coming to power  in July
1994.Our so-called educated elites like Mr Jungle who
are interested only in 'bag of rice and fish money'
collaborated to strengthen dictatorial rule.
