I am sorry that I did not read your message on time.  I am glad that we can constructively debate issues of concern that might yield understanding in our desire for a democratic Gambia.  I am  really moved by your invitation to debate. I was worried that you were disappointed at my change of political acceptance of the APRC government.  I want to assure you that I will never be afraid to speak my mind if I  see any inconsistencies. 

On the issue of house rules, I am afraid that I cannot address the speaker's decision on Hon. Halifah Sallah.  I think it is fair for Hon. Sister FJ. Ceesay to set light on this issue.  I am convinced within a reasonable doubt that my old point of political indifference is gone.  I longer have the desire to attack any Gambian's right.  I will, however,  point out arrogance and indifference of behavior.

I just want to assure you that, though I support SM, I will never sell my soul to agree with every decision he makes.  In fact, I am of the opinion that our marriage with the APRC government should not negate us to point out any inconsistencies of behavior on Jammeh's part.

I was further shocked by Sister FJ Ceesay's doctrine of a free ride for Jammeh in 2006.  That will be the most disastrous thing in a political democracy.  I hope we can forget our differences and organize ourselves for 2006.  Every Gambian has a right to seek the presidency.  I hope we can understand that our responsibilities in a political democracy can only happen if we have a desire to personally go home and fight for what we believe in.

Naphiyo,

Comrade ML Jassey-Conteh
