I am against any sort of Rumors unless It can be verified. Kindly take note that it is in the interest of our country that I ask because of the public funds involved. So please do not quote me as to the validity of this yet and if it is wrong just forget it and my apologies . Habib I want to first say that I am in no way verifying the truth in this story . Today after talking to a friend of mine in the Gambia (who was even afraid to confirm what he heard ) he mentioned that a certain Mr. F Makalo absconded the Gambia with a lot of money and the government is paying a reward to anyone who returns him back to the Gambia with or without the money. Is there any validity in this ? and who is Foday Makalo? I am just trying to find out if there is anyone else on the list who heard this story. If if is untrue my sincere apology to Mr. Makalo. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Habib, l read the story about Mr Makalo at the Gambianet website. They mention in the article that the government is not really giving details about what exactly Mr Makalo is charged with. He is described as the general secretary of the APRC.For details, see the Gambianet site(www.Gambianet.com. There are also a few interesting news items there.
