On behalf of The Organisation of Gambians in Sweden, I Sahir drammeh have
today monday the 3rd January, written and also spåke to the Swedish national
radio about the defected information on our beloved country, that we have
serious problems with our banking-system,transport and telekommunikation
because of the year 2000. I told them that I my self spåke to Gambia when I
heard the news, but the information I got was the opposite. So as concerned
Gambians we are very disturbed with the faulty news and hope that before the
end of the day the reports will be revoked and corrected. I will be
following the developments before departing for Gambia on Wednsday.

With Love
Sahir Drammeh Spokesman/Treasurer (OGIS)

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.
