Jabou,
You see, even your sources have mentioned that the crying of foul play is too
late. Secondly, He / She is correct to say, that Tombong will avoid coming with
more sensitive informations. This is not to the advantage of AFPRC to feed their
opponents with all these informations, because it will affect them not to
continue the same game in the Parliamentary elections. Tombong has been too good
and co-operative to inform his opponents. I have no doubt, he will be stoped,
before he will open our eyes. This is not their duty, because they won the
battle. It is the duty of the opposition to get all these informations from the
IEC, and send them to us. Don`t be surprise to see them coming with another
strategy in the Parliamentary elections. We MUST open our eyes in dealing with
them.
Elhajj.
