Pa Samba & Ous I note that these NAMs are requesting for a loan, if this is what they need then surely what is stopping them from applying to their respective banks?? why request for privileges!! I even chuckled when I read their claim for a diplomatic passport, Diplomatic passport for what?? I will not trust the NAMs with a diplomatic passport for the following reason; During the First and Second Republic, 3 MPs have been arrested abroad for committing serious crimes: (1) Momodou Lamin Saho- (2) Phoday Makalo (3) Almamy Touray So here we go now, diplomatic passports is an easy way to ensure that MPs morally evade responsibility whilst travelling abroad, I therefore object with such proposal.
