Readers: The unedited e-mail below came from an insider at State House in Banjul Ebrima ____________________________________________________________ >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Libya demand reimbursement from Yahya Jammeh >Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2003 > >Hello Coach, > >When it rains, it pours! Well, Yahya Jammeh, at this period of his >presidency, can attest to this. He is faced with myrid of problems that >there seems to be no end to them: inflation, free fall of the dalasi, high >level CORRUPTION, fuel shortages, inability to conduct simple Hajj flights >(this year there will be some who WILL NOT leave Banjul International for >which we are all sorry for real). Jammeh has now added xenophobia to the >list. They are so ignorant but they do not even know it.And blaming >foreigners for AFRC's failure will only make matters worse. No, Coach, >these inept school drop-outs will have to resign in order to save The >Gambia. Anyway, back to Yahya Jammeh and the APRCs woes. >If you recall, I reported on the visit of the Libyan Prime Minister to >Gambia over a year ago. Well, during the visit, he visited Bwiam Hospital - >one of the white elephant projects of the APRC - and was visibly upset >about the progress made in implementing the project. The gentleman had >every right to be upset because when the Gang of Six stole the money >earmarked for the hospital's completion, Jammeh sent Baba Jobe to Tripoli >to see their former friend, Godfather and Great Protector, Mouamar >Ghadaffi, for financial assistance to complete the project. Ghadaffi >obliged after demanding cost estimates, designs and estimate time of >completion. By this time Ghadaffi was beginning to get wise to these >criminals. He has had other terrible experiences with the Gang of Six >concerning MONEY. Yahya Jammeh, money, money , money. That's his number >one problem and the same applies to the rest of the Gang of Six. Anyway, >that is another story of its own. > >The estimated cost to complete the entire project was $1 million. The >Libyans gave these crooks the money expecting completion well before the >PM's visit. So that was the reason why the gentleman was upset on site. He >asked for explaination and a satisfactory one at that, but Libya never got >one. The million bucks went into the pockets of Yahya Jammeh and members >of the Gang of Six. Once the Libyans were convinced that they were once >again fleeced by Yahya and his cohorts, Ghadaffi gave an order, and then >followed by a telephone call to Yahya Jammeh, demanding return of the >money. > >As a consequence of the LEVEL OF APRC CORRUPTION, the Bwiam Hospital stands >incomplete. So Libya has now turned off the tap (which is most welcomed by >Gambians), and both Yahya Jammeh and Baba Jobe and by extension the other >members of the Gang, became unwelcomed guests in Libya. Ghadaffi continues >to demand that the entire sum be refunded. Jammeh is expected to stop by >Bwiam on his Meet the People Tour. We will be all ears and microphones to >listen to what he is going to give as excuse for the incomplete hospital. >I will listen and report back to you and your very attentive membership. > >Finally, please extend to all your subscribers their kind words and their >reference to your sources. We will continue to expose this CORRUPT APRC >regime until they say GOOG BYE. > _________________________________________________________________ Chat online in real time with MSN Messenger http://messenger.msn.co.uk ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
