For the records, I do not know Mr. Tijan Jaiteh but can he clarify what he mean by:

"he has a partnership with the UK-based kit designer will be giving out a percentage of the sales from his new business back to the Gambia Government through his Excellency Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr. Yahya AJJ Jammeh. "

Is he not paying value added tax (VAT)? Is he not paying those transporting the container to his warehouse? or the warehouse owner for his service? or the "leberes" for unpacking the boxes, or  the Daily Observer and other media houses for spreading the news (aka advertising)? I think that's more than enough give back to the community.

The President has quiet a lot on his plate and should not be bothered with receiving "a percentage of the sales" on behave of the government".
