Mr. Owens:

This dialogue should not end.  It should indeed serve as a testament that
accountability and transparency can serve us better.

Since you are a "yellow dog" UDP supporter, what is wrong about a complete
audit of the party's finances?

While we disagree, can we remain friends and seek truth in our political
salvation?

Naphiyo,
ML Jassey-Conteh
