If Yaya and his cohorts have any shame at all, they will not commemorate July 22. Clearly, the promise Yaya made about electrifying the whole country did NOT materialize. To show the childishness of the moron, he waited until close to July 22, got a loan and bought a generator that is nowhere near electrifying 98% of the country; which he promised. Only gullible Gambians will fall for this gimmick. The next government should pledge to bring Yaya's dream into fruition within 100 days. Had Yaya not stolen the moneys from Taiwan and opened Swiss Bank accounts, we would have electrified the whole country since 1995. That is the benchmark; and not whether we have a loan from Taiwan and one generator coming in to electrify only a tiny portion of the urban area. What would have happened if these morons and thieves were NOT leading us? July 22 should NOT be a day of celebration for these morons. That is the day they stole power from a democratically elected government. As Ebou Colly has shown, taking the State House was a walk in the park. The cowards did nothing extraordinary. They hijacked the country in broad daylight thanks to their guns and their thuggery. They have nothing to offer us but misery. Nonentities that failed in their own fields. Upon stealing power, they continue to fail the Gambian people. Stole millions of dollars from the poor people. Ruined our economy. Killed our children. Incarcerate our brothers. Saddle us with a debt burden that coming generations are going to pay for dearly. What has this debt burden gotten us? Millions of dollars in private Swiss Bank accounts belonging to Yaya and his cohorts. A mansion in Kanilai built mainly from kick-backs from CSE and other contractors for government contracts building roads and schools. In short, the meager resources we got from these loans have been grossly mismanaged. This happens when you have a government lead by vision-less morons. Gambians have to realize that the country could have done a lot better than it is currently doing and has done since Independence. What Gambian would rather have the proceeds of a loan from Taiwan sitting in a private Swiss Bank account, rather than being used to adequately equip our hospitals? That is what is going on with this government. While they are engaged in programs ten-year-olds could have implemented if they were running the country, the vermin are also setting us back by stealing from us. Gambians have grown poorer under their watch. The overwhelming majority of our people CANNOT earn a decent living. Why settle for people that have already failed us. The AFPRC/APRC record is one of misery, poverty, corruption, callousness and mayhem. The Party is a remnant of the PPP regime. Top PPP politicians (from Ministers to Alkalos) are running the political machinery of the APRC. Top civil servants from the old regime are still holding sensitive positions in this regime. These people CANNOT move the country forward. They do NOT have the wherewithal or the integrity to run a country in the kind of mess we are in. What can Baabaa Jobe contribute to the welfare of the Gambians? What can Buba Baldeh do that he was unable to do when he was a PPP Minister? What can High School drop-outs like Yankuba Touray offer us? But if the vermin stopped at being inept, it would have been a blessing for Gambia. They are not only inept, but they are callous too. They run the country like a Gestapo outfit. People are arrested and tortured willy-nilly. A day does not pass when you read the newspapers and not see someone narrating his horrible experiences with the NIA. Journalists are brutalized. Human Rights Workers are framed and put on trial. Innocent citizens are unlawfully incarcerated incommunicado. Courts refuse to render decisions that are unfavorable to the government. Elections are rigged. People are dismissed from their jobs without justification. List goes on. In short, the vermin have forfeited their right to lead. They have inflicted enough misery on the Gambian people to wipe away what little good they might have done in their sorry lives. Just like in Nuremburg it was NOT a defense to say that Hitler, Goering et al built roads in Nazi Germany to help them go to the Eastern Front to massacre Russians, when it is all said and done, we will NOT listen to Yaya when he whines about his projects. We will simply ask him what he thought his job was? Who did he expect to build the roads or bring electricity to the country?
