Gambia-L: Another e-mail from one of my sources in the Gambia. Ebrima _________________________________________________________________ >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Jammeh to distribute 40 tractors tomorrow(Friday,16 June) >Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2000 11:45:47 GMT > >Ebrima, >Jammeh ordered some 40-odd tractors in January and had them packed at the >Kanifing Industrial Estate. They have now been all dusted off and are >being moved to State House in readiness for his show. He intends to >distribute these machines to several constituencies, as part of his >campaign strategy. >He does not stand the dog of a chance in trying to get voters, and > >particularly from the farmers. Yaya forgets the hardship he has >brought >unto them; his disgraceful inability to manage two successive >trade >seasons; crops rotting in the seccos; farmers not being paid >for their >hard-earned harvest; his slaughtering of their innocent >children; his >shady dealings with BIVAC that has completely destroyed >the economy and >the re-export trade; his lazy and inept >administration which has >transformed Gambia into a rouge and bankrupt >state. >The Gambian voter is smarter than Yahya and his entire entourage of > >sycophants combined. His philanthropic acrobatic display is not only > >distasteful but exposes him further as a corrupt and shameless > >individual. How can Yahya afford to buy 40 tractors to distribute as > >gift to the electorate? Nothing will sway the resolve of the Gambian > >people to boot him out of office; even one tractor for each Gambian >will >not change the minds of the voters. What are the farmers going >to use the >tractors for if his corrupt and inept Government cannot >put a simple >mechanism in place to purchase the agricultural produce >of the Gambian >farmers. SHAME ON YAHYA AND HIS REGIME. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
