Jamba,
why don’t you do your Party (PDOIS) a favor and formulate future-looking
policies for them? Since you are so smart that you saw through the PPP when
they were ‘mystifying’ Jawara, I trust you will have no problems
articulating your vision for the future of our country. Or are you just
satisfied that you get any future so long as it does not include PPP? Do I
read you saying that you will rather have the child murderer lead us than
PPP? How do you suggest we get rid of PPP from the country? Support Decree
89 to ban the Party? Does it not mean anything to you that Darboe (and NOT
Jawara or OJ) is running? Don’t you feel silly talking about all these
allegations about corruption knowing that kangaroo courts were set up by
Yaya and they did NOT succeed in convicting PPP politicians? Don’t you feel
silly repeating AFPRC/APRC rhetoric that PPP did NOT do anything in the
country? What cage have you been living in all these years? Was Gambia built
in the last seven years? Shameless morons like you do NOT even realize that
you are able to come to G_L to express such silly views because you learnt
English from schools like Muslim High School. I hope to realize where I am
going.
