The order of the day in Gambia, is: The "MAA TEY SYNDROME"....The average
Gambian is stupid enough not to reason or apply common sense to events and
details...Thief-man is bluffing, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN.
With the unstoppable inflation, cash-strap economy, depleted foreign exchange
arising out of < exports>>imports, excess redundancy within the public
employment sector, unnecessary and unaccounted-for military and travelling
expenditures,low productive capacity base, Famara Jatta, do not have any
recourse, except to reverse the Robin Hood taxing Scheme...Rob the poor and
give it to Ali Baaba and the Gang of Five. We are in for a dire straits.
Hopefully, this budget and price and tax hikes, will give desperate Gambians
and Opposition Parties, enough ammo to call for mass protest and removal from
office of Ali Baaba and his cronies.
Folks, these #'s do not add up, one iota. I'll wait for PDOIS' /Halifa's
analysis/comparism/debunking of this MADE FOR GRTV'S GARBAGE.
