KB, Hamjatta, The problem with the Famara Jattas is that they've hung around idiots for so long that they take ALL Gambians to be dim-witted. After reading Hamjatta's expose', even snail-huggers (mentally) can see the Budget Speech for what it is: a spurious essay that attempted to assuage Western critics by promising Good Governance and Decentralization (contrary to the govt's expressed intention,) even while the Secretary is unwittingly admitting that the govt has failed in virtually every sphere of public admin. The childish semantics he played with the Gambia's ranking by the UN Dev. index is a case in point. I just don't know where this breed of Gambians came from? Thanks to y'all for shooting down his phantoms...
