Sanusi, Yaya's coming to power created many business tycoons (Gambian Millionaires) overnight, himself included. It is one thing to declare one's assets and another to justify how one acquired those assets. Therein lies the rub. None can tell you that they were able to become what they are today from the salaries they earned. What's bedeviling about it all is the dishonesty that people have taken on without batting an eye. Johm ak Ngor took a backseat and I am hoping that it will be brought to the front again so that when you look someone in the eye, it will be with honesty, not defiance in your dishonesty. To borrow a term of Tombong's from another posting, Yaya is surrounded by 'Kakataars' with no equals, those who are obvious and the sly ones. We can read them and we know some of them.

Are you willing to declare how AMRA and other business ventures that you once managed came into existence ??? Where did you get the money to fund such business projects?? Please note that this is just an HONEST question with no intention of ill-will or malice.

Yesterday, I was at the airport to welcome the President from Guinea Conakry and during his usual press conference, he revealed a new dimension of Operation no Compromise. All public officers during his tenure (July 22nd 1994 to date) would have to justify where they got their assets. He said, "from 1994 to date, every one must explain how he got his assets. This is going to complete my "Operation no Compromise". If your relative has built a mansion, tell him to work out how he got it with justified documents or (he will) go to jail." All including myself will have to justify whatever assets we have. This a welcome move, it will clear the air and the real KAKATARs will be revealed. The truth shall set us free. This will include all past and present public officials. The President has to be given credit for this bold move. He is tackling corruption in his own style.
