>A third correction to a piece(yet to be posted) by Sainey Camara entitled
>"Sage or Fool" the third to final para.,first line should read "can"
>instead of "cannot". This Ms.Camara is quite something.  Gambians are very

>Ebrima, the British "friend" of the Gambia made some pertinent observations
>on the gambian political scene and our president who is constantly
>contemptuous of The Constitution. Jammeh has made enemies of those
>businessmen who place high premium of good corporate governance and who
>adhere strictly to good business practices. Mustapha Njie is one of those
>who tries to run a clean business and it is because of this that he is
>being harassed by Jammeh. Taf did some work for Yahya at Kanilai and at the
>end of the works, he (Taf) presented the President with the bill for
>settlement, since the work was strictly private. Yahya got upset about this
>and Taf has been in trouble ever since. But Yahya must be warned that his
>attitude to the business community is further eroding  business confidence
>in The Gambia. If you can treat a Gambian investor this way, how would you
>treat a foreign one. Gambia is no longer a good business address. It is
>almost at par with Monrovia. So please, do not run down our economy any
>further than you have already managed to do in six short years.

>Batchy Baldeh, former MD of NAWEC, who is considered by many as one of the
>best electrical engineers and, a highly respected manager, also fell foul
>of the butcher of Kanilai because Batchy, as Taf, presented Yahya with the
>bill for all the electrical, water supply infrastructure and ancillary
>works done at Kanilai by NAWEC. The bills were never paid by Yahya and he
>(Batchy) got the sack in the process.
>
>Public resources cannot be committed to private jobs at Kanilai and Yahya
>refuse to adhere to the basic rule of human decency. Ebrima, tell your
>British friend that Gambians will not allow Yaya to destroy our country.
>Assure him that we will succeed in booting the butcher out of power and
>commence the long process of reconstruction of our administrative, social,
>economic and agricultural infrastructure destroyed in 6 years by "these
>people". We are certain to count on Britain and our traditional development
>parters who have been devastatingly alienated by a brutal, incompetent and
>corrupt regime.

>Thank you as always. THE BUTCHER OF KANILAI WILL GO SOONER THAN YOU THINK.
