Gambia-L: The unedited e-mail below came from a source in the heart of the Gambian Government. Ebrima Ceesay _______________________________________________________________________ >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: HILO company is based in Atlanta >Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2000 > >Ebrima, > >Following the announcement of this year's groundnut price (D2,600 per >tonne), the farming community has once again seen the untrustworthiness of, >and the liar in Yahya Jammeh. Firstly, he promised them that he will >announce the price of groundnut on the 12 November and that the buying >season will start on the 15th November, 2000. As we all know, Yahya failed >to fulfill his promise on both counts for reasons I stated in my last >posting to you. External resources will not be released to finance this >year's buying season unless and until, Yahya stops his corrupt practices >and his collaboration with unsavory characters to further syphon off funds >meant to alleviate the suffering of our people. Take the case of the HILO >company of Atlanta. This is a company, incorporated in the State of >Georgia, with a total capitilisation of a mere $130,000 and you expect this >company to buy the total groundnut crop which is extimated this year to be >in the region of between 150,000 to 175,000 tones. Amadou Samba, Tarik and >their HILO Company cannot raise financing to buy this year's crop. I know, >as a matter of fact, that the company cannot but 7,000 tonnes as at this >moment and yet they are instisting on total monopoly of the trade; can you >believe that? The whole thing has turned into a very sad joke > >Yahya promised the farmers during his tour that he will increase the price >of groundnut from D2,800 in 1999/2000 season to a minimum of D3,200 in >2000/2001. Instead, this year's price has just been announced at D2,600; >D200 lower than last year. The farmers are naturally disappointed, >dejected and have decided to sell their nuts to Senegal so that they can , >at least, be paid for their season's labour and sweat. Once again, Yahya >has failed the farmer. It is lies upon lies for Yahya. Yahya must go and >go he will. > >Ebrima, you can request Bamba Laye and others in the Atlanta area to look >into this funny HILO Company with total capitilisation of $130,000 >registered in the State of Georgia, whose CEO visited Banjul last week but >because of the fact that I had gone up country, I could not meet him to >extract additional information about his intent and those of his corrupt >collaborators in the name Yahya Jammeh, Amadou Samba, Tarik Musa and Modou >Dibba to further extort the Gambian population. By way of additional >information, the British fellow I mentioned ealier is not the owner of the >HILO company but rather he is a front and act as a freelancer, at a price , >of course. These people must be exposed and if possible legally prosecuted >in the US for corruption. In case the Softwear engineer is in anyway >involved, his Employer will be informed of his extracurricula activities. >We will fight you everywhere you may be. The likes of you, Yahya Jammeh >and his entire goivernment are destroying our country. We will not sit >back and let the country be destroyed further by a group of corrupt >illiterates. > _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.
