Gambia-L: The e-mail below, as usual, came from a source in the heart of the Government. Again, I am sending it unedited. Ebrima ________________________________________________________________ >Ebrima, >A Government circular is out stricting Government purchases of vehicles and >petrol to Tarik Musa of TKMotors and Tufik Massry Jrn. of Castle Oil >respectively. All of the brand new vehicles of the top echelon of >Government are all PAJEROS in accordance with the new dictates of Yahya >Jammeh and Baba Jobe. Government officials can only purchase fuel from >Castle Oil. These two businessmen have really greased the wheels of >government and lined the pockets of Yahya jammeh and his cohorts. There is >no more competetion in the market place which is driving genuine investors >out of the gambia at an alarming rate. Ebrima, at this rate, the economy >will take a generation or more to recover to the level attained during the >former era, when a new government is installed. Basic commodities are >beginning to disappear from the shelves of super markets and shops. The >situation is pathetic and needs to be arrested immediately. The donors >should deal with the situation even though the government purchases affect >only those procurement which do not involve external funds. > ________________________________________________________________________ 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
