HD,you still have faith in Yahya ? i hope he disappoint me and release all the person's you mentioned illegally detained unconstitutionally.i hope he do half of what you asked of him.you hold him in high esteem ,good to see that some still believes in yahya's human side.i don't.unless,he produce the killers of koro ,himself first ,then the killers of deyda,again himself ,and release kanyiba, and countless others from detention we don't know about .i hope yahya do what he knows best ,his dictatorial command and let the bungling courts throw away the case against fjm.she need her freedom to be with her children.
   
  you congratulate yahya on the birth of his new born baby.well ,i don't know what to say about that.the children didn't do any thing to us yet.i wish him a good life and prosperity and that he shouldn't emulate his father's beastly behaviour and wrong ideas of development.

It is a beautiful day here in the US. I trust it is even more beautiful in 
Gambia as you prepare to forgive those who have trespassed against you in 
honour iof Eidul Adha.

I take this opportunity to wish you and the people of Gambia Eid Mubarak. 
May Allah continue to guide you in execution of your duties as President. I will 
be remiss if I do not congratulate you on the birth of your son recently. I 
wish the first lady well and prayers are due you. You will enjoy your new 
bundle of joy. He is Allah's blessing to you and your family and many thanks are 
due him for the honour. May Allah fill your heart with joy and consideration 
as he has moved the Saudi King to reconsider punishment for muslim women in 
Saudia.

My son is having a rough time adjusting to this daylight saving time because 
he tells me we the people stole an hour of playtime from him. Kids. Haroun 
Bin Haroun is the funniest human ever born and he shows signs of immense 
mental endowment. Don't expose your son to Churaye or other incense because an 
inordinate concentration of it in the air he breathes can injure his delicate 
respiratory organs or leave him vulnerable to asthmatic conditions later.

I want to commend your government for renewed vigour in providing services 
and for renewed zeal in administering the affairs of the nation. High 
commendation goes to your new Secretary of state for works and infrastructure, Hon. 
Lamin Bojang. He has set the tone for harnessing value for Gambia and I am 
particularly pleased with his recent focus on the River. We must all give him 
our support and encouragement. I understand he has challenged Gambians to assist 
in the rebirth of River Transport and I just might take him up on the offer. 
I would however like to share this advice with you and the Hon. Bojang. I 
hope you take it into advisement:

Like you, I think the River is the single most significant asset to Gambia. 
The river defines our nationhood and without it, there would not have been a 
Gambia. Its sustainable development should therefore be the priority of state 
as the hon. Bojang has expressed. I would like, in support of you and Bojang, 
to set up a Department of Transportation with its Secretary of state. This 
will bring further focus to the values of the River and indeed all land, sea, 
and air transport for Gambia. The department for works and infrastructure 
risks being overwhelmingly burdened with transportation and the new values Hon. 
Bojang foresees in the River. Perhaps once formed, you could allow Hon. 
Bojang to head that transportation department, and promote one of his able 
under-secretaries to Secretary for Works and infrastructure. The two departments 
will then work hand in hand to realize your vision of a vibrant economy. I think 
Hon. Bojang's hard work and industry is likely to rub off on the remainder 
of your administration, and that can only be good for you and the nation. In 
this permutation, the department of transport will be responsible for 
standards and policies related to transport, research into modes of transport and 
their alternatives, tarrifs, licenses, permits, and development policy. The 
infrastructure department will be responsible for construction, repair, and 
maintenance of transport and other non-transport infrastructure. That task, when 
properly executed, is enormous and complementary to all departments of state. 
I would like you to consider offering Hydrology, Hydraulics, and 
Transportation at the University of Gambia to support the departments of 
Hydrometeorology, works & infrastructure, and Transportation respectively.

I want to commend the Jammeh foundation for their philanthropic work 
throughout the year and Mr. Jammeh deserves high commendation. One thing that always 
bothers me is that even though the foundation is doing good work and your 
heart was in the right place to have set it up, it has always been 
unconstitutional. Its good work therefore is burdened with unlawful coorporation. I have 
been thinking of ways you could make it legal without interrupting the good 
work it is doing but at every invention I stumble on ethical considerations 
that suggest the following:

1. You may gift the foundation to your wife and Mr. Jammeh and remove your 
name from it. In effect, it will be reconstituted in-situ. Then allow Mr. 
Jammeh to operate it with his team as non-profit charitable foundation as was its 
aim to join the family of NGOs in the Gambia. I think that will be 
magnanimous of you. You may donate to it from your earnings anytime you desire and the 
public will be free (without coercion) to support its good works.

2. Or you could disband it totally and merge it into your family farm in 
Kanilai. The work that the foundation is currently doing is basically 
subsidising what your administrative departments ought to be doing. You may supplement 
your departments' efforts by donating to specific projects aimed at assisting 
the sick, the indigent, and the dis-eased.

The reason I advise due-diligence in this matter is that I so admire the 
work the foundation is doing and I was considering partnerships between the 
Foundation and The Global Democracy Project, but my conscience cannot allow such 
partnership with the current structure of the foundation. Should you desire 
the 1st advice, I will be free and encouraged to begin partnership with Mr. 
Jammeh and his foundation. Should you desire the second advice, I promise that 
The Global Democracy Project will replace the work the foundation is currently 
engaged in and more.

We will be seeking to constitute legally in Gambia very shortly and I wish 
to encourage you to afford our officers a cordial and conducive operating 
environment to yield a good turn for democratic life in Gambia. We will send our 
Resident Director for Gambia to present our incorporation papers to your good 
offices as a gesture of goodwill and partnership toward the common goal of 
Gambia's development. Please allow him/her all necessary facilities that are 
allowed all Non-governmental organisations. I shall telephone you and send you 
official introduction and greetings at the appropriate time. Here, I merely 
present the vision in conjunction with my two advices to you for the Jammeh 
Foundation. May Allah continue to bless you and Gambia.

Sincerely,

Haruna Darbo.
