Baboucarr & Prince,

Don't waist your time on Tombong. He was simply brushing his teeth with an
empty brush when he said that he would give equal air time to all parties.
The opposition parties ,particularly the Alliance , whom I support ,should
not bank on the IEC to provide them with equal air time
they should demand it by all means.

>>"All these actions and the very fact that the GRTS also used more than two

>>Thanks

>>PS.
>>I do like the phrase "Jammeh's 'hired' crowds"
