Jabou writes: "It is a shame that we HAVE NOT HAD (emphasis mine) a reliable electricity supply and other basic services have been wanting". We say that is precisely what this government has come to change. She further writes: "Therefore, the provision of these services, using the people's tax money is nothing to brag about. This is standard fare in any country. I guess this is news in The Gambia because the people's tax money and other national revenues end up in the pockets of the corrupt leadership we have been burdened with, so if for once, they spend even a penny towards basic services for the people, then this is big news that they send Tombong and a cabinet official to announce on the L". Dead wrong. For all and sundry, this is just the tip of the iceberg. More generators are on the way. And please ths is not only news but VERY BIG NEWS THAT IS VERY MUCH WORTH BRAGGING ABOUT. As some of us live in The Gambia and not London, Birmingham or New York, we will do all that we can using our meagre resources to develop this country. A horse's journey of a thousand miles begins with a gallop, they say. We shall continue to inform you of more and more developments. We will also continue to spend tax payers money on education, health, agriculture, fisheries, infrastructure etc, etc, and you will be fully informed. Transparency and accountability we call it. Have a good day and bye 4Now, KB Jobe. _________________________________________________________________________ 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 You may also send subscription requests to [log in to unmask] if you have problems accessing the web interface and remember to write your full name and e-mail address. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
