We must be sincere in all our actions to help The Gambia and all Gambians first in practicing what we preach while serving in the interest of the country in the best of our capabilities.

I have observed how much gambians have achieved in the past thirty years .You could count the number of Gambians who had a bachelors degree in the sixties ( not more than twenty for all the Gambia) now there must be thousands. Also what puzzles me is that when they go back home they just disappear in a hole per say / why ? something invisible  must be holding them back They prosper here and not there. It is time for a change in attitude and in a positive way too -not finger pointing or 'kortehs" to each other.
