Mr. N'jie: I wished you had referenced your posting to pre 1994 period. I still believe that more classrooms and qualified teachers can help solve the educational deficiencies in The Gambia. At this critical time when our resources have been depleted by the dictatorship, it should be a priority for the country to have its economic house in order. It is cosmetic to buy computers for every high school in The Gambia. Another issue is maintaining them, especially by a dictatorship that hits and runs like a tidal wave. Government appropriations should be allocated on the bases of priorities. Please take a moment and remember the massive road constructions that fraud yahya jemus embarked on in the early part of the dictatorship. How are the roads now? Did it make any sense to incur these expenditures when no long-term planning was made to maintain them. A government should be fiscally conservative in meeting the needs of the population. Irate and catch mouse expenditure will create budget variances that cannot be met by any potential revenue. I want to be frank with you. Dictator yahya jemus cannot push for quality education when he ordered the slaughter of innocent Gambian school children. Our hopes and dreams were kidnapped by the agents of political manipulation and blatant disregard of truth. What has Dr. Saja Taal done? His he not the same shameless parasite who is kissing the dictator's rear end? What example has he shown to the families of the murdered school children? Has he condemned dictator yahya jemus for the slaughter of our future leaders? How can they educate our kids and at the same time kill them? We in the opposition are no fools. We cannot be distracted by sudden change of strategy when the dictatorship refuses to answer our questions. We are a family tree that refuses to be cut down. Our mission is for a united and democratic Gambia. We are in this struggle to the end of tobacco road. We will never surrender to lunatic yahya jemus. We love our country. The Gambia is not the shame any more. Before we can engage in any pertinent debates with the dictatorship, we want justice. We want dictator yahya and his culprits to stand trial for the slaughter of our school kids, the rape of Ms. Camara, the torture and death of Ebrima Barry, misappropriation of our funds, and countless human rights violations. We understand the plight of the victims in The Gambia. Our treasury is being looted every hour. How could this lunatic transfer the capital to Kaninlai? What is wrong with Banjul? I thought he accused Sir Dawda of being corrupt and ineffective. Sir Dawda never stole our money to buy a plane. The dictator's actions resurrects Sir Dawda as a saint. The Gambia was better off with Mr. Jawara than fascist and insane dictator who has no intention of leaving. The opposition in The Gambia must unite as a single party against the police state. We must borrow a page from the Senegalese people. We must set aside our differences and fight for what is right. We cannot go through self denial. We owe it to The Gambian people. Dictator yahya jemus is the worst thing that ever happened to The Gambia. Dictator yahya jemus, let my people go.
