Hi Ebrima, Gambia is playing against Morocco in the world cup qualifying rounds.Our in-laws have a better chance to win,not so,as they do also in wining contracts at home ! For Freedom saiks Ebrima, Thank you very much for an informative piece. It has reinforced my believe that this President and his administration represent the worst kind of misrule. The numbers and statistics you cite would keep responsible leaders awake late into the night as they work hard at ameliorating these very tragic circumstances. Instead our tormented nation is continuing to contend with a leadership that is unfazed by their plight. The government knows fully well that the country is unraveling and that things would get progressively worse precisely because they have neither the inclination nor the ability to set a better course. Premature deaths and other severe deprevations apparently are not sufficient to trigger any sense responsibilty for this excuse of a government. Never have they ackowledged this basic problems that are clear, present and persistent. Instead they spend all their time regurgitating pipe dreams and foolish attempts at persuading people that they are better off despite the misery they are sinking into. A while back some list members expressed concern at the President's decision to relocate his office in Kanalai. They cited several reason which ordinarily has lot of merit but they assumed this was a hands-on President who is very much abreast of what happens in his administration. The fact is this government has no overall sense of direction, instead the President runs the institutional equivalent of a session of musical chairs in which he pads his top positions with courtiers who are constantly jousting to avoid being left standing when the music stops. He is not running an outfit that has serious and professional aids preparing and coming to him to work on important issues that would for once benefit the people.So Yahya Jammeh can relocate to Rabat Morroco and it would not make an iota of a difference in terms of how this mess of administration works. He recently had a three hour session on a weekday with musician Lucky Duby. The guy is a great musician but three hours in the time of guy who has all these glaring problems says everything about the kind of President our country is unfortunate to be stuck with. You have to assume they had to be watching a couple of music videos and played a little card game and might have even squeezed in a quick dip into the Atlantic ocean. List members, this is not the President our long suffering people deserve. He can't and would not address their problems no matter how alarming the statistics.
