Tombong,

Thanks for the update on the Gambia's Y2K readiness.  One would think it would be the right thing for these media outlets to at least wait for concrete evidence before they start ranting about Gambia's Y2K problems.  Once again, I think the enemies of the Gambia are at work.  What a shame!.

PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

No Y2K problems in the Gambia


It has come to the notice of The Gambia National Taskforce on Y2K that the
British Broadcasting Corporation and other media houses on 2 January 2000
reported wide-ranging Y2K problems in The Gambia.

These reports are erroneous in the extreme. The National Command Centre of
the National Y2K taskforce hereby declare that the central bank, the energy,
telecommunications, financial, transportation and government sectors have
not reported any Y2K related problems as indicated in the reports.

These reports may have been due to a misinterpretation of information posted
on the website of the International Y2K Co-operation Centre in Washington.

We want to reassure the international community that The Gambia, which has
been working on the issue for several years now, has so far not experienced
any Y2K related problems in any given sector.
