ISATOU NJIE SAIDYS PROPAGANDA
MRS ISATOU NJIE SAIDY, should just shut her mouth, for she have nothing to offer Gambians other than lies. Her analysis of NAWEC is just a fueling of her "capitalistic and greedy engine "which is based on nothing but engagement in transcations of mutual selfish interest. Certainly there is no difficulty in demonstrating that, for such has become a paradigm for the structure of every type of public discourse in The Gambia.
OPTV wants all Gambians to know that ISATOU NJIES politics has become nothing but defending the indefensible. Her contempt is aimed at nothing but propaganda and deceipt. OPTV IS strongly warning her to resign forthwith from such a rotten system to save her soul. All Gambians fully know that NAWEC has failed and she therefore cannot baffle Gambians by giving all this flimpsy so call facts and numbers.
Isatou Njie Saidy should only know that her Government is already tearing in to pieces, and have succeded in doing nothing but plunging our country in to not only an economic catastrophy, but a political and social one as well.
So NAWEC has failed throughout the Gambia except for Kanilai and Isatou Njie saidy's mansion............................. What a shame? Fellow Gambians read this article
NAWEC owed more than D76 million

Mrs Isatou Njie-Saidy, the vice president, has disclosed that as at 31 December 2003, a total of 48,462 customers owe the National Water and Electricity Company (NAWEC) D76,547,350.81 in unpaid utility bills. This exludes the liabilities of the central and local governments.
She made this remark at the National Assembly Thursday while responding to a question posed by the member for Banjul Central, Kofi Green-Harris.
But Mrs Njie-Saidy clarified that the system at Nawec is that bills record actual consumption and that customers are already debtors to Nawec even before they receive their bills except those using the pre-paid cash power.
She said the D76 million debt includes D8,668,744.93 incurred by GUC and D7,097,744.93 by MSG. Since she could not possibly have the time to read out the debtor’s list, the vice president referred Assembly Members to see the list submitted to the clerk of the House for their perusal.
She further clarified that Nawec has not written off any debts in the last two years. “Indeed, Nawec does not write off bed debts. A customer who is disconnected, can only be reconnected after the settlement of the arrears, that is why both GUC and MSG arrears feature in the company’s books,” she explained.
Regarding the state of the power generators and the cause of the frequent power shortage and interruption of water supply, Mrs Njie-Saidy informed the House that Nawec has a total number of seven generators at its Kotu power station and that three of these are in production, two are down undergoing maintenance and two that are diesel fuel driven are standby generators.
She added that the total installed generating capacity is 46MW but the total available capacity is 15MW. She said Nawec has also recently experienced faults on the transmission lines in the KMC and the increasing demand, including that stemming from the booming construction industry, have all contributed to pressures on the demand for both electricity and water in the Greater Banjul Area and the consequent interruption in supply.
In response to a question from the Member for Serrekunda Central on how much oil has been received from Libya between 2001 and 2003, at what price per litre and how much it was sold per litre to the oil marketing companies in The Gambia, Vice President Njie-Saidy advised the Member to direct his question to the department of state for Finance and Economic Affairs.
