All well and good but NADD must first establish itself as a legitimate political institution and win all the elections before realizing your dreamworld.  Now listen to yourself Mr. Kah:

"The expertise in NADD coupled with the experience and the good will of highly educated and highly talented Gambians both at home and abroad would be instrumental in formulating and assisting in the implementation of a transitional economic programme."

Really!!! NADD is riddled with pathetic incompetence otherwise it would not have found itself in such an embarrassing legal quagmire.  If your "experts" are so disillusioned about the legal ramifications of their actions how do you expect any sane person to trust their judgment on serious economic issues ?  Besides didn't one of your darling "experts", Professor Abdoulaye Saine, declare the most treacherous nonsense before the whole world that the "Gambia is not poor" contrary to all economic indicators published by the World Bank, IMF and UNDP etc etc.
Brother, you all have a very very long way to go. You know it is really funny that this forum, The Mighty Post, adopted "Va Penserio" as its motto and this reminds me of the 15th century Europe.  During that period in human history there were no mad houses/ mental institutions.  There was what they called Stultifera Navis-a ship of fools- (or literally GAALI DOFF in Wollof) where all thoughts from mad-hatters were allowed to fly.  In this 21st Century we have the Mighty Post in cyberspace where insanity and egomania flies to the highest.

The primary objective of this coalition is rectification of governance, the
alliance has an inbuilt sunset clause, which will see it wither away after
the removal of the ARMED PEOPLE ROBBERY CLUB. The focus therfore is to
create institutions that will allow the participation of the masses without
any hinderance from any one with a dictatorial tendency. If such
institutions are put in place and allowed to flourish then it will be very
easy to implement economic ptogrammes that would address the fundamental
needs of the people. Of course irrespective of ideological leanings the
primary focus of any economic policies is just to address the basic needs of
the people, and these will never change no matter how one juxtaposes the
economic equation. The remains that people want jobs, they needs education
good housing, good sanitary conditions, however, to achieve these, a stock
take of our circumstances must be made, and thye reaklity that obtains in
The Gambia is that we are saddled with loans embezzled by people like you,
if we are to progress and and advance a people centred economic agenda must
be unveiled and in such a programme uppermost would be how to reverse the
twin predicaments of Trade and Fiscal imbalance that is inherent in our
economic reality. To address in other to redress these one must therefore
focus on the productive capacity of the country, irrespective of ideology
one would realise that the economic foundation rests upon agriculture and
the creation of light scale industry which will compliment it, and to
achieve NADD would have noted that without regular supply of electricity no
nation that vies for progress can be taken seriously, hence the energy
sector must be the primary focus, the provision of which can act as actalyst
to engender and provide the economic foundation. The expertise in NADD
coupled with the experience and the good will of highly educated and highly
talented Gambians both at home and abroad would be instrumental in
formulating and assisting in the implimentation of a transitional economic
programme. What must be constructed now is the political alliance, the
economic blue print would be published am sure as soon as some intricate
issues have been dealt with, after all if morons like you can take power
without publishing any economic blue print any Gambian of goodwill
especially seasoned politicians like OJ Jallow and the rest will be more
than capable to guide the ship of state to safety shores.
