Mr. Gassama,
Certainly, announcements of the nature you descibed are meant for public
consumption and I thank you for disseminating it, although I would rather
have seen the task assumed by GIPFZA proper. Investors interested in doing
business in The Gambia would like to get assurances from Government and the
Authority that the Investment Code in place is investor-friendly which can
only be responded to, in an authoritative manner, by none other than the
Agency charged with the responsibility of promoting investment. Meanwhile,
please check the e-mail address provided because as I mentioned in my
follow-up posting (entitled - "Mr. Gassama: I spoke too soon") I sent a
message to the CEO's address you provided and I recei
ved a delivery failure
notice.
Before I close this chapter, I wish to assure you that neither did I intend
to question your right to express your views nor to imply that you are
representing the official position of Government. All I am suggesting to
you is to let the GIPFZA take it from here.
Have a good weekend

Mr. Sanneh,
This is a full page advertisement in the Gambia Daily and Gambia Daily
Observer newspapers, which I was discussing with a friend who wanted to know
whether investment regime we have in place in Gambia today is any different
from the bureaucracy that i
s encountered in my developing countries. Having
sent him this by private email a few days back, I thought there might be
others, especially amongst Gambians abroad who may be interested to know
about it. As it has been in circulation in the papers for many weeks I would
have assumed that it was meant for public consumption and dessimation. Like
I said before, I don't represent any official view, rather my views and my
views alone. Anyway I appreciate your comments for which I thank you very
much.
Have a good day, Gassa.
