Burama, yes and my data is ZERO, ZLITCH, NADA.   I said no son or daughter of a government minister received scholarships to the U.S or U.K. Perception is reality to some, but that gives no one the right to say unfounded things about other peoples children just because of a grievances or two these individuals may have with the government or institution  their parents were serving.

This is tie debate!

I hailed from Jambur/Badibou - I don't these ministers and/or their children. Just kidding!

I can't and I don't think the other parties to your discussion can give names because they were not issuing those scholarships. The question becomes why do they alleged as they did? The answer could be derived from perception and what obtains in other areas. They maybe right and/or wrong.

However the same can be said about your position to give prove. That is can you prove the sponsor of all the children's of ministers and/or those perceived closed to PPP administration.

Maybe to determine exactly what happened we should write to the current government to institute another 'Alikali Type Commission' on this specific matter.

Good though standing your ground.

Burama, it is about scholarships. And the challenge was to name one single son or daughter of a PPP minister that deservedly or undeservedly received scholarship to the U.S or UK during Jawara's time.  Let's not muddy the waters just yet.

To you, it is flimsy, to the children of ministers, it is something that they are probably interested in since almost none of them have ever being a recipient of these scholarships that we've been hearing of for over 40 years.

The fact that they haven't tells me that they have bigger fishes to fry than make noise in these forums and blogs.

>>This is why I said, it is ridiculous for Sidi to throw such flimsy challenges. In fact, the police who openly take bribe can ask for proofs that they are corrupt, the custom officers who dupe Gambians of millions, the ports staff, the revenue collectors, the housing officers, I mean, there is wide range of nepotism, corruption, and ill-discipline in all spheres of our system. Hence, the systematic failures should not and cannot be brushed under the carpet by Sidi Sanneh or any other former senior civil servant under Jawara and Yaya Jammeh for that matter.
>>His views smell of cockiness and outright arrogance. Systematic problems are issues that are address from top down. However, if former big players within middle to senior level civil services want to tell us, there are no staff members whose sole aims in departments was not to favour their close kit and kin, then God help us.
