Brothers
and Sisters and fellow Gambians on the L
I
hope this meets you all in good health and great spirits of Unity and understanding.
I
have been relatively quite on the latest issue which sister Veronica Njie
put so well on paper and gave us more than enough to digest for the next
two years.
I
commend her very much because the previous authors were all criticizing
either Jammeh or Jawara and gave very little or no ALTERNATIVES to the
problems.
My
question is simple let us list FEASIBLE ALTERNATIVES that can bring about
some SOUND SOLUTIONS to our Social and Economic sectors and STOP Criticizing.
That will only inflame the common citizens in the place we all love (Gambia)
who do not need to be hammered daily with more negative reminders
of either Jammeh or Jawara.
No
one is perfect . Some have strengths in some areas and weakness in
others.
Look at the global picture of the Gambia and think how how to solve it's problems not how to only criticize. Anyone can find faults with anyone . We all have skeletons in our closets.
I
will start the Solutions List with number one
:
1.
MASS EDUCATION of all Gambians until they can be almost 95 % computer
Literate. This will eradicate a lot of our problems of electing our future
leaders.. Let us EDUCATE ourselves ,our families and friends first. I open
the floor on the education alternative. Grass roots teaching of not only
the young ones but the elders - women and children- all ages. Give
teachers all the help they need . (and it does not have to be a formal
classrooms - it can be in anyone's compound in a designated area.)
THEN
Number
two
2.
Financial & commercial Rebuilding of small shopping outlets for equitable
distribution of needed goods and services throughout the whole of the Gambia
( using the old or defunct Cooperative system with it's present buildings
and or structures)
Without
business no country can survive.
This
is an element I have yet to see being discussed seriously.
NEXT and not the least we move to
3. Social and religious matters that will fit into the above two Alternatives will be the next order of the day that will just fall in place with the development of the above two issues .
Yes, I repeat it is easy to criticize but what are the ALTERNATIVES??????and SOLUTIONS?????
Wasalaam
