Like many, I still don't know everything I need to know to form an opinion
on the saga of the missing millions. Hence I don't know who to believe. One
thing seems obvious to me however; poor Gambia is out of $3 million (D39
million approximately); enough to salary the entire education ministry for a
year.

To help me and many others, can someone answer the following questions
please:
Irrespective of how; if indeed Ebou Jallow rob Gambia of this said money,
can a registered Gambian organization legally pursue him in a court of law
(here in the US) to recover the money on behalf of Gambia? If we can, why
haven't we? If we already have, what was the outcome?

If we cannot go after him legally, what constructive options do we have to
explore other than the squabbling, and (personal) insults? How do we resolve
this matter for once?
Can any legal authority shed some light on this please?

Thank you all!

        Hello members of this forum,
        Fighting with Ebou Jallow on the L is not making things better. We
are not
        communicating rationally anymore. I think that the Gambia Government
        legally should be responsible and find ways to retrieve that sum of
money
        wherever it is.
        These trends of attacks going back and forth is a waste of time and
energy
        and moreover the negative images it creates for this forum is
tremendous.
        Some of you even suggested that he apologize to the forum. To whom
and then
        what? What kind of a stupid person would do anything like that. I
don't
        believe that Ebou is a stupid fellow. If we believe in democracy,
then Mr.
        Jallow will have his day in the courts of law to defend the charges
against
        him.
        On the other hand, have we even thought about giving him the chance
and
        that maybe E.J. realizes his mistakes and wants to talk to friends
and make
        it up. We will gain a lot if we dialogue. Let us treat each other
with
        respect regardless of our beliefs and differences. Let us improve
        communication because the value of knowledge is entirely
instrumental and
        it is good to have. Don't you think that he might have some
information of
        benefit to us all? Who knows, he could even shed some light on other
people
        who knows nothing except subtraction " weha" from the Gambia's
economy. If
        we approach this whole issue wisely the final amount would be more
than 3M.
