I came across this on The Gambianet's discussion forum. It makes a really interesting reading, so I decided "copy and paste" it to this site.

Here we are again after almost 4 years, over 20 legal procedures at the Swiss Courts and a Himalaya of facts, fictions and half truths, it is very obvious that the Gambians are completely misinformed about "$3M Affair" and Jammeh's pathetic lies and cover ups! First the mysterious $32M was a hoax. It was a preemptive propaganda after I made a public release concerning the circumstances of the much familiar and famous $3M transferred to my account in Geneva. Again I will explain myself...the $3M was transferred to my account by the Central Bank, with the full knowledge and consent of your President Jammeh and his Private Banker Mr. Phillippe Bidawid of Credit Lyonnais (Suisse) SA Geneva. Under these circumstances it will be just enough for me to say that any allegation of theft will be preposterous. The purpose of the transfer obviously was not to purchase rice but to conduct a clandestine finacial operation to satisfy the twisted ego of a juvenile Head of State. I do not have to go into details at this moment due to the pending legal implications. Second, the next issue is how did I get all that money in a Swiss Bank as a Civil Servant? Candidly, the money originally came from Taiwan, it was paid to me in cash on behalf of Yaya Jammeh and with his blessing, he granted me $2M of which I later deposited to my account. This was well before Taiwan even granted the Republic of Gambia any loan of $35M, which was ratified and signed by the then Mr. Balla Jahumpa, Minister of Finance. Call it bribery? May be on the part of the Taiwanese to Jammeh, but I believe I was just following instructions at that moment and I wonder what anybody could have done under those circumstances. Then why did I chose to defend myself in court and not just allow Jammeh and his cohorts just recoup the funds in my account? I have never felt any need for that money. I have and I am still surviving very well in the USA without any want or worry. The issue is if I never stand up to Jammeh, the world will probably never know the truth and Jammeh would have taken the money himself. I know as long as I am surviving, I am his nemesis. I would like the whole world to know that should I die today, I want all the money in my account be given to that sorry country the Republic of The Gambia who needs it most. I strongly believe that will happen sooner or later, Jammeh cannot stay there forever....He himself knows that. Again I believe there are issues which Jammeh should challenged constantly if he wants to be honest to Gambians i. e. the brutal murder of Koro Ceesay by Edward Singhartey and his brother Peter, where is the money I personally deposited in his account?, and since he won the case in Geneva, where is the money and the court decision? Finally I will repeat this again My name is Ebou Jallow, I live in Arlington, VA and I work for the DOD, The Pentagon, if Jammeh is worth his salt, I invite him to call me in any decent and fair court of law , or any where for that matter and I will be more than glad to answer him. During his last visit to Washington DC, I personally approached his staff to meet him but I was unsuccessful. Yet I think I made my point though that I am not in hiding and am not affraid confront eye to eye.
