Haruna,
This has nothing to do with you being afraid of me. By the way, the last
time I talked to Musa Jeng was December 20, 2003 and I am sure he can tell
you why.
My issue here is that you cannot make it a habit of cooking up stories by
dragging AGERA into your problems with Banka and Musa or Save The Gambia
Fund.
By the way, Ida and Kura said hi as well. I tried taking lessons from kura,
but I got stock at differentiating between TOMATO and TOMATOE.
For those who don't know, Kura is my blood sister and I am lucky to have
her as a relative. I am sure those who know us can tell you how we are in
meeting rooms.
I think you of all people should know by now that LEKBI could care less
about wether you like him or not.
This will be the last you will hear from me on this issue.
Best Regards,
Ablie Njie-LEKBI
