Suntu, you are not serious.... can you tell me how much a loaf of bread
cost in Coventry... I tell you Washington DC, a loaf French bread (Sen
Furr) is about $1.99; you tell me where in the Gambia does a loaf of bread
cost even D25.

We are aware that life is not easy on ordinary Gambians, but that problem
cannot be solved overnight. In addition, please stop this nonsense cry
about rural areas. You are not the only one with relatives there... We all
send a few dollars there, and are cognizant of their problems.

By the way, I am yet to see Lawyer Darbo's economic blue print that will
allow all the peopple in the Gambia to eat "beeftake" with a bottle of Coke
with their meals. If any, I think he needs to join PDOIS and Hamat in the
parliamentary elections. How sad that we didn't even hear him comment on
the elections.
