On behalf of The Organisation of Gambians in Sweden, I Sahir drammeh have today monday the 3rd January, written and also spåke to the Swedish national radio about the defected information on our beloved country, that we have serious problems with our banking-system,transport and telekommunikation because of the year 2000. I told them that I my self spåke to Gambia when I heard the news, but the information I got was the opposite. So as concerned Gambians we are very disturbed with the faulty news and hope that before the end of the day the reports will be revoked and corrected. I will be following the developments before departing for Gambia on Wednsday. With Love Sahir Drammeh Spokesman/Treasurer (OGIS) -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: TOMBONG SAIDY [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Skickat: den 2 januari 2000 16:18 Till: [log in to unmask] Ämne: NO Y2K PROBLEMS IN THE GAMBIA WHATSOEVER PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE No Y2K problems in the Gambia It has come to the notice of The Gambia National Taskforce on Y2K that the British Broadcasting Corporation and other media houses on 2 January 2000 reported wide-ranging Y2K problems in The Gambia. These reports are erroneous in the extreme. The National Command Centre of the National Y2K taskforce hereby declare that the central bank, the energy, telecommunications, financial, transportation and government sectors have not reported any Y2K related problems as indicated in the reports. These reports may have been due to a misinterpretation of information posted on the website of the International Y2K Co-operation Centre in Washington. We want to reassure the international community that The Gambia, which has been working on the issue for several years now, has so far not experienced any Y2K related problems in any given sector.
