Dear Gambia L,
I would like to thank Ebrima Ceesay for always sharing with us about the string of debacles of this administration, however I am becoming a little bit worried that he is very much narrowing the search by the enemy of who is really supplying secret information to the list.The sentences that most specifically caught my attention were "By the way, I was in Kanilai last week and at the approriate time" and I have a lot of sensitive information which I cannot divulge right now, because they can
easily trace the source. Why? Because these are documents only seen by
myself and my Secretary of State.
In as much as I appreciate and support these revelations, I also will like to see the confidentiality of the source protected which will ultimately arm us against the enemy.
