>Ebrima,
>I have stood by all the stories I provided to you.  I am not involved in
>speculation, and I verify ALL my stories before passing them on.  I
>expected this type of reaction coming from those collaborating with the
>treacherous regime of Yahya Jammeh, and this Radio Station is just one of
>them.  You remember when I revealed the HILO case, "Sir Alan" was not only
>vehement in his denial of any association with the regime of Jammeh in
>their attempt to cheat the Gambian farmers but went the extra mile of
>threatening the lives of those involved in exposing him and his Company.
>As I write this response, the farmers of Fass, who have been promised
>payment for their groundnuts on Thursday 4th of January, are still waiting.
>HILO has not produced one single penny since their initial "investment" of
>$3 million which went mostly to buying vehicles, minimal repairs to the
>Denton Brigde facility and salaries to staff, including "Sir Allan's".
>
>The members of the L are too sophisticated to be taken by these petty
>denials. These are just distractions. The membership are used to these
>reactions coming from those who are proping the Jammeh regime.  We are
>however determined to expose every single one of you.
>
>At least Abdou Karim Sanneh was honest enough to say that the "only support
>from the Government" he is aware of was "the provision of a
>license under the name of City Limited.".. We heard similar claims in the
>HILO case, only to discover the biggest rip-off the Agricultural sector has
>ever seen.
>
>Abdou Karim Sanneh's reaction unwittingly confirmed the intimate
>association of City Limits with Yahya Jammeh because of the fact that those
>so-called rap groups that the station has already contacted/targetted for
>promotion, are themselves beneficiaries of the "benevolent one" (to borrow
>Dr. Madiba Saidy's characterisation of the Butcher of Kanilai.) They are
>being sponsored by Yahya Jammeh, playing Yahya Jammeh's instruments,
>singing Yahya Jammeh's praise, and dancing to Yahya Jammeh's tune.
>
>The selection of Abdul Aziz Willan is also quite revealing. For the
>information of Abdou Karim Sanneh, Aziz was recommended by Cherno Bogal and
>his leading "talubeh" in the civil service who will remain nameless for
>now, to Yahya Jammeh. I need not go further as everyone knows the
>relationship between Cherno Bogal and Yahya Jammeh.  I rest my case and I
>stand by my story. The truth will always prevail.
