Thanks for forwarding us this information.

I just can't believe what Tamsir Jallow is coming up
with.

By the way, has anyone read Tamsir Jallow's speech
during the last session of the National Assembly
repealing Decree 89?

Some interesting points were picked out from his
speech; This man got his date and facts wrong on the
banning of MOJA and other parties. This all goes to
show that he is unfit for the post of  majority
leader, but who do you blame?  Nevermind come October
2001, this man will be history.

Have a wonderful day

Sanusi.
