Well, Senegal has continued to apprehend and >prosecute any of her nationals found to have participated in the Jammeh and >APRC-engineered, supported and financed scheme. Further hearings of newly >apprehended culprits are scheduled in Kaolack, Zinquinchor and Dakar. The >Gambian press will be provided with details so that they can cover current >and future hearings. The Gambian press is being invited to contact the >Senegalese authorities for the dates and venue of these hearings. It is >being covered by the international press. So why can't our local press, >including the Daily Observer, which is now moving away from its blind >support of Jammeh and his incompetent pack of criminals. > >It will be of interest to your readership, the local press and the >Opposition that several illegal voters have already been prosecuted and >convicted in Kaolack, Zinquinchor, Diuoloulou and Dakar. Further >presecutions are currently in progress in Bignona and several locatities in >Senegal. These ill-advised voters were enticed into their present >predicament by Yahya Jammeh and his corrupt hentchmen with MONEY, MONEY, >MONEY. Thanks to Yahya Jammeh and his corrupt and inept hentchmen, these >illegal voters are not only receiving jail sentences but some run the risk >of loosing their Senegalese citizenship as well. > >Stern warnings have been issued to future Senegalese scam-voters that >future Gambian elections will monitored ever-more closely and >unscrupoulosly. Anybody caught in the act will be dealt with in accordance >with Senegalese law. Senegal is protecting its sterling image in the >international community as the bastion of political stability, democracy >and progress. Now it is the turn of the Gambian Opposition to prevent such >illegal registration and voting >in future Gambian elections. > > > _________________________________________________________________ Worried what your kids see online?
