Barrow, I loved that one!
Well said, the brother (Kebba) most be dreaming. If he is happy with the
situation, then he must be very selfish! what about the other part of the
labourforce in the Gambia, are they entitled to the same sort of ensurance
schemes he and his camp has? Can these people visit those fancy private
hospitals?  He must also double check concerning the infant/mortality rate
in the country.

Kebba, you may aswell take a look at the demography of the country and apply
some socio-economic /humanist understanding of what is going on. Look at the
population rate, its alarming! Do you really understand what the vice
president is saying?

Well, am sure Barrow, has already put you on the move of thinking.
