Jungle sunset,
Is the generator business a cheap ploy to boost the Kanilai Butcher's
electoral chances.  What one cannot understand is why now not earlier?

Would you agree with me that the commissioning of generators should have
been given a higher priority than that stupid Arch 22 edifice.

You mentioned in your posting on this matter that "30 years of darkness".
Wasn't it right then to have made the availability of electricity supply the
No 1. priority in 1994.  But no, then the Butcher and his cohorts were busy
milking the Gambia dry.

I would deign to add that during all this time, Kanilai was enjoying
constant supply of electricity.  Had the Butcher been as patriotic as he is
portraying, he would not have resorted to being cocooned with all mod coms
at his disposal whilst ordinary gambians were suffering.

Your hypocrisy is now manifested to the full.  Have you for once, even
commented on this scenario.  I hope you dare not ! Because if you did,  you
would not see sunset for a long time to come.  Such is the Dictators
pronouncement of Accountability, Probity and Transparency that even his own
supporters dare not speak of any of his frailties for fear of a visit by the
NIA. I can surmise that what you are posting to G_L is done out of fear for
the Butcher and NIA and not for provoking debate on gambian issues. Yet let
me warn you! the Dictator's type are not easily appeased!  remember Saja
Taal, Cheyassin Secka etc. for each of this their Sun is set and so shall
your Sunset arrived.

I hope Mr. Le Directeur is reflecting on these thoughts as well.

Peace
Mohin
