Again a show case example of sensational reporting. Pa Nderry is the most dangerous journalist in Gambia. Are you a town cryer or a joint-the-list.Man you will never stop the bullshit.

saihou Mballow <[log in to unmask]> wrote:  PA Nderry, the Movement for Democracy and Development
is an Independent body and its source of income come
from contributions and the contributors are Gambians
who are sympathizers of different political parties
therefore, it would not be fair to take their monies
and give it to one single political party. Many people
do believe so.

Yes we supported NADD in the past because then all
the five parties were united under one party but today
that is not the case.
Listen Pa, i have no power to reject the wishes of the
majority of contributors neither do i have the power
to dictate any thing and i have nothing against NADD.
If someone tells you that Saihou Mballow is insisting
that funds should not be send to NADD, tell the person
that he or she is not telling you the truth. The
Movement monies is not my money, i do not handle the
money but sit equally like any other member and debate
about what to do. The past help that went to NADD was
agreed upon by members and contributors. 

Finally, i think there shouldn't be anyone who will
object to my suggestion to support the Gambia Media
and needy students because all of these should be view
as reinforcing democracy and development. Still yet
each individual member of the Movement can support the
political party of your choice.Thank you

Saihou
