1.  Name a Town or village in Guinea that is within 10 miles of  the   source 
of River Gambia? $10
Ore' Dima, Labe', Satina, or Gouba. 



2.  Name four (4)  towns or villages in Gambia that are within 5  miles of  a 
tributary of  River Gambia $20.00
Bourghibe-$5.00.

Yankuba-Sami Wharf town (just off Sandugu Bolong), Sare Sofi (also  on  
Sandugu Bolong), 
The village of Bintang ( overlooking Bintang  Bolong) and the  town of Bwiam. 
- $15.00
 
Yankuba, I think Sare Sofi is more than 5 miles from the tributary. Check  it 
out. You win for effort anyway. Some of the other towns could be: Basse Santa 
 Su, Banenko Simaila, Limbambulu, Sutukoba, Leba Mali Mbye, Buduk, Tuba 
Mamadi,  Busura, Khayell Bassell, Dasilami, Mundong, Chakunda, etc. almost  
ad-infinitum.


3.  Name 2 Towns or villages in Senegal that are within 5 miles of the   
River  
Gambia. $30.00.
Yankuba-Velingara and  Bignona  - $15.00
Yankuba, I don't have Velingara and  Bignona on my list. Remember its River 
Gambia, not a tributary or another river  in Senegal. I'll do some more 
checking. Meanwhile you win $15.00 for FJ for  effort. Some towns and villages I have 
are Kouroumbambe, Kirili, Makabing,  Madina Pate', Koular, Darou Salam, 
Bambadala, Simenti, Bahare', Babel, Soukouta,  etc. etc. almost ad-infinitum.
 
4.  Name docks/wharves that  are in current use at the Gambia Port  in   
Banjul?  $10.00
Bourghibe-$5.00      
Yankuba-Banjul   Wharf - 120 meters long, 17 meters wide. It has both outer 
and inner   berths for anchorage 
Banjul Jetty - this was a 123 long  dock but it is now been extended to 177 
meters. It also has both inner  and outer berths  for heavy and light vessels = 
2 The answer therefore, is  4 docks are currently in use. - $10.00
The  Banjul Port was also a recipient of a new container terminal at the 
Jetty which  is 300 m long, The Lady Njameh lost a propeller at sea and has been  
inoperable since. I wonder if they found the propeller????? Very funny. Is the 
 Tesito tugboat out of commission? The Juffureh? I have some more questions  
on the port for future quizzes.

5. Name the Roads and the construction  company that built them in Gambia 
since independence.   $20.00
Bourghibe-Wimpey-Brikama-to-Mansakonko  $5.00 
Yankuba-C.S.E.  (Compagnie Sahé–˜ienne d'Entreprises ). They built the 
Mandinaba-Silite road  in 1983-84, Kombo Coastal road, Soma-Basse road, One in 
Badibou, the road  from Kairaba Avenue via Kanifing to Radio Gambia end, Westfield to 
Abuko  and from Brikama to Gunjur. So, they built 7 roads.   $15.00

involved in resurfacing and renovation of the Farafenni-Laminkoto  road, the 
Kerewan-Farafenni road, the  Mandinaba-Soma road, and the taxiway  at the Airport. 
Besides roadwork, MAK has purchased the Kairaba Beach Hotel  in 2004, developed 
Brufut Heights Hotel  Resort, and invested in a  vegetable farm and processing 
center at  Kafuta.

reason for their removal, and whether they have been brought  before  the 
courts to answer to any charges of wrongdoing.  Where there is no  official 
reason offered, please indicate  thusly. Include all SOSs who  have been 
re-appointed after  termination. $100.00
 
No  answer forwarded for this question. I want all of us to work on this. The 
 independent, The Point and Foroyaa archives will be good sources for 
this.Call  your journalist friends or APRC archivists. There is value to this  
exercise.


7.  Dispensed with. honorary doctorate  accorded  Ajaratou Isatou Njie  Saidy 
VP, by Univ. of Gambia.

questions.

2006. She was imprisoned for 3 months 19 days.

10. Does Gambia have any water treatment plant, where are   they located, and 
what is their capacity in Million Gallons  per   Day?
Bourghibe-$5.00 This question still available for answer. No   monetary value 
assigned however.
 
This question will remain open just as question #6 until someone comes up  
with the accurate answers. Suffice it to say that Gambia does not have much of  
water treatment plant. A series of boreholes and pumping untreated aquifer 
water  is more like it. Even though the ground does much of the filtration for  
groundwater, there are still inorganics and hardnesses that ought to be  
considered. Its a good thing friggin MRC is around the corner for bowel  movements. 
There are NGo efforts to bring potable water to rural communities  from 
boreholes and solar power. Banjul and Serrekunda are screwed for  APRC's tenure.
 
Tally: Bourghibe - $20.00  Yankuba - $55.00
 
Thank you gentlemen. FJManneh will be pleased and she will acknowledge your  
gifts.
