Indeed Sanusi, politics should be relevant to the young and appealing to the old. We need both layers to succeed. Thanks

This guy is definitely a promising product for the Opposition. I listened to his speech and it goes to show that there is hope for the younger generation within UDP.

Maafanta Transcribes Speeches At The Brikama UDP Rally
No Retreat No Surrender  - says Jatta
Ousman Alias Rambo Jatta (UDP National Youth Leader)
    Speech at the September Brikama Rally
    "Please let's  observe a one minute silence, and recite Bismillah  for the
    late karamo Touray. Greetings to the Executive members of the party
    (Ousainou, Alh.Yahya Jallow, Ebou Manneh, and the entire militancy).
    where of Kanyiba Kanyi.????????

    "I Rambo was clandestinely jailed all over the major Gambian police
    stations, up to the URR Sare Ngai Police station in Wulli yet the APRC
    government kept telling Lawyer Ousainou that, they don’t have me in
    custody. There is only one Gambian police force, and when the High court
    in Banjul request that, the police release me, they responded by saying i
    am not under their custody. A lie by all accounts." Clapping

    Rambo was briefly interrupted by the Green Boys who attended the rally to
    cause trouble. "The rude uncontrollable behavior will not be
    tolerated anymore.If they want an eye for eye or a tooth for tooth,
    am ready for that.”
He then turned towards the UDP supporters and said, “if anybody is unwilling to stand up to the bullies, then go
home. T
he irritating atmosphere created by the government is intolerable, but the Gambia is where we are equal in.
APRC does not have any higher priviledge in the Gambia more than the UDP, and this time we will go all the way out.”
Meaning, the bullies will meet their match.

"Heavy rains has caused considerable damage to the farming community. However, Isatou Njie-Saidy said, the
government has given D10million to the affected farmers and that, people should call the President and congratulate
him.Why should people congratulate the President? Is it not the Gambian tax payers who foot the bill? Cheap politics
should end. He said, “because the 2011 national elections is round the corner, this is why, even disasters are hijacked
for propaganda purposes by the government.”
"Play time is over, Gambians are dissatisfied and bitter with the events happening.Those APRC supporters who join the
UDP will have their privacy protected. The announcements made in Brikama were to show delegates that, the UDP is
making headway, but in future, no announcements will be made.The APRC has been parading their own supporters on
GRTS as UDP supporters joining them.” He said, let the APRC continue on such lies, but the UDP will keep the dignity
and identity of new members a private matter and that, many more APRC militants are joining them.”

Coming to the Tourism industry, Rambo said, that his specialty. He said, “after the 1994 coup, all Western countries
introduce Visas between them and the Gambia.The reason for that is simple logic, the aftermath of coup entail fugitives
and mass asylum to safe stable countries. Without Visa, their borders will be flooded.” Rambo said, the GTA (Gambia
Tourism Authority) is incompetent and unable to manage the Tourism industry. Each year the there is less and less
Tourist visiting the Gambia, what is the reason for the GTA?”
'The Tourism industry’s decline is so severe, Denmark announced of their intention to close down the operations in the
Gambia for 2010. The Tourist season which has started is minus Denmark and what will happen next year is sadly
unpredictable. Sweden may also close down operations.” Rambo said, “Tourism is a big employer for Gambians and the
decline will impact on the youths. The upcoming election is crucial for the youths to avoid being bought with meager
amounts.
They shouldn’t be fooled into travelling around with the APRC because of few handouts. Those
youth who sell their dignity get dumped soon after the elections.
There is only one youth movement in the Gambia and am the head of that body. All the youths are members of his
movement regardless of party affiliations.

"APRC has never held a Congress which means, the party is a one man show.” Rambo closed his speech with swipe at
Yankuba Colly, APRC national mobiliser who said, “the UDP has three signatories to its account.” Rambo said, “Colly is
actually telling his boss how transparent the UDP is.” He said, “the APRC supporters don’t even know who controls their
money.”
Rambo calls on the youths to register en masse to counter the voter apathy. He warns the youths to avoid staying home
during elections. “The civil servants should also realizes that, the current regime is bad for them. They are unsure as to
their positions on regular, daily basis. The uncertainty that clutter over their job security is a terrible depressing
dilemma.” He said, they should vote UDP to get job security and peace of mind.
Rambo ends the speech with a rallying cry for the next rally to be held  in Bakau. He said, under the UDP government,
he will stand for mayor of KMC and, come next election he is contesting the Bakau parliamentary seat.
