Like many, I still don't know everything I need to know to form an opinion on the saga of the missing millions. Hence I don't know who to believe. One thing seems obvious to me however; poor Gambia is out of $3 million (D39 million approximately); enough to salary the entire education ministry for a year. To help me and many others, can someone answer the following questions please: Irrespective of how; if indeed Ebou Jallow rob Gambia of this said money, can a registered Gambian organization legally pursue him in a court of law (here in the US) to recover the money on behalf of Gambia? If we can, why haven't we? If we already have, what was the outcome? If we cannot go after him legally, what constructive options do we have to explore other than the squabbling, and (personal) insults? How do we resolve this matter for once? Can any legal authority shed some light on this please? Thank you all! -----Original Message----- From: Paul M.

Hello members of this forum, Fighting with Ebou Jallow on the L is not making things better. We are not communicating rationally anymore. I think that the Gambia Government legally should be responsible and find ways to retrieve that sum of money wherever it is. These trends of attacks going back and forth is a waste of time and energy and moreover the negative images it creates for this forum is tremendous. Some of you even suggested that he apologize to the forum. To whom and then what? What kind of a stupid person would do anything like that. I don't believe that Ebou is a stupid fellow. If we believe in democracy, then Mr. Jallow will have his day in the courts of law to defend the charges against him. On the other hand, have we even thought about giving him the chance and that maybe E.J. realizes his mistakes and wants to talk to friends and make it up. We will gain a lot if we dialogue. Let us treat each other with respect regardless of our beliefs and differences. Let us improve communication because the value of knowledge is entirely instrumental and it is good to have. Don't you think that he might have some information of benefit to us all? Who knows, he could even shed some light on other people who knows nothing except subtraction " weha" from the Gambia's economy. If we approach this whole issue wisely the final amount would be more than 3M. " FOU KENA DI GASS FUKA DI SULE, PONDA MOI BARRI REK WHY PAH DOU FA AM" suma niari koparr Paul Paul M.
