Halifa,
        Let me join Rene and others in urging you to choose what to
respond
to. Your character, dedication and selflessness surpass that of most,
if not
all your detractors combined. You have proven your worth not by words
but by
deeds over a long period. You are a public figure and as such are open
to
critique and criticism. That is the beauty of democracy. True
democracy is
however guided by among other things, common sense and sincerity and
negated
by among other things, self-righteousness and pettiness. You have very
important work to do not only for your constituency but for the whole
country. Do not be distracted. Your character is intact as far as most
Gambians are concerned. Even those who disagree with your methods and
policies attest to your sincerity and dedication to The Gambia.
Questioning
your character is a non-issue as far as many Gambians are concerned. So
please spend your time dealing with important things and not waste it
dealing with non-issues. Another beautiful aspect of democracy is
having the
choice of responding or not. Please choose not to respond to non-
issues.
Thanks and have a good evening.

Buharry.
