Folks, if you have jokes for leaders, then yours is a joke.  How can this
fool even form his mouth to utter such nonsense when our economy in gliding
on the remittances of diasporans?  This confirms our belief that these
handkerchief heads do not want diasporans to vote because they know that it
will be easy victory for NADD.  Thus, NADD should do all it can to make sure
that diasporans are enfranchised.  These people are pathetic!

"He noted that preference should be given to the stay-at-homes, who continue
to support the country’s development process."

Does Chicken know his purpose in that Assembly?


Majority leader urges Commonwealth to reconsider Diaspora voting

Churchill Baldeh, the majority leader of the National Assembly, has called
on the Commonwealth to think twice about its willingness to help enfranchise
Gambians in the Diaspora, in the build-up to the 2006 presidential election.


Speaking recently in an interview with the Daily Observer, Hon Baldeh said:
“It is meaningless for us to consider those in the Diaspora who have
abandoned the country. And very few of whom are participating in the
development process of the country.’’


He noted that preference should be given to the stay-at-homes, who continue
to support the country’s development process.

But he praised the dialogue forum set up by the Commonwealth, describing it
as essentially helpful in the search for political unity.
