Jammeh's Golf Competition Creates Disharmony Among Gambians

The disharmony apart, one wonders where Jammeh got the $40,000.00 (D1,200,000.00 –assuming that $1.00 =D30.00) from. What makes this a legitimate question is the fact of this huge amount for a competition just for a baby, a minor for that matter, who as we may all know if not for being the daughter of a sitting tyrannical leader hasn't contributed anything to earn such an honor. I am just saying that Jammeh needs to be reminded that lavishing taxpayer's money in that way is a crime in the highest order. This money can be used to support the empty hospitals with drugs, or yet still the poor road conditions in some areas. People pay taxes so they can be supported with infrastructural developments.
Honestly, I see no problem with promoting sports, be it golf, soccer, basket, wrestling, etc.... It was similar to the dollar awards to the Quranic recitation. Instead of “Dashing” (Aku word for giving) money like that, he should funnel this through the schools to support their structures and students in need.
Yero
There is no god but Allah (SWT) and Muhammad (SAW) is His messenger. Fear and Worship only Allah alone!
