Thanks Kukeh for sharing. Reminds me of Caesar's Rome. The mender of souls in particular. Et tu Brutus?
 

 Haruna.

Subject: [G_L] Another trip to the "wall of shame"


              I guess the President and his team can high-five behind their palace    wall now that 70 yr old Mr. Dumbuya has apologized and begged for    their mercy!  It says a lot about the character of a government that    uses the might of state against a 70 yr old petty trader. 
    And we wonder why Gambia scores a very unimpressive 34% on the    Global Corruption Perception Index (CPI), dropping from rank 77 to    105 from 2011 to 2012.    To paraphrase a  Mandinka saying  " a guy    who plays god at home is often wussy among his fellow men." 
    
    It looks like everything they call "ndam", heads straight to the    proverbial  "Wall of shame".

One Alhaji Mustapha Dumbuya of Thomas              Street in Banjul,has sent a letter of apology to the              president              of the Republic, His Excellency Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr              Yahya Jammeh, for              the incorrect and untruthful statement uttered during the              president’s tour of              the Albert Market.
          
The letter reads:
          
I humbly hereby write to apologise you            for the incorrect and            untruthful statement I have uttered during your visit to the            Albert Market.
          
Sir, my statement that the store belonged            to me was untrue.            What I in fact, actually wanted to say was, I was the tenant            for the store for            over 20 years; and because I thought you would extend your            usual kindness by            way of compensation or gift to me, I got over excited and            lied but I never            intended to defraud you in any way. However, it was all my            fault and I humbly ask for your            forgiveness and pardon.
          
I am 70 years old and I have never done            anything like this            before. I have a large family and with my age, I am still            the breadwinner for            the family. I again apologise you for lying to you and I            promise I shall never            do such a thing again.
          
Alhaji                Mustapha Dumbuya
          
No. 1                Thompson Street, Banjul
