By Staff Reporter James Jammeh, Banjul

EDITORIAL: Only Coup Can Salvage The Gambia

Country’s Budget Depicts About A Scary And Unstable Future

How Jammeh And His Mafia Group Destroyed The Gambia

Gambians should start bracing up for a difficult year. The 2010 budget recently presented in Parliament by Finance Minister Abdou Kolley, hinted about a major economic hardship, characterized by political uncertainties. Taxes would go up, while there is no hope for job opportunities, investment,  and decent wages for Government workers. Our country’s future is indeed bleak. We are likely to witness a major political and economic unrest in months to come. There is no way that our poverty stricken citizens would withstand the looming hunger about to hit our country.  In the absence of jobs, decent living,  food, and Medicare there is bound to be instability.  Gambia’s budget for 2010, does not guarantee its citizens the above mentioned necessities. The budget depicts about a “bankrupt” regime, which is seemingly running out of human and financial resources to manage the affairs of the nation. The 2010 budget also signals about worst days ahead for Gambian tax payers.

Your commitment and service to your Nation and its peoples and your legendary sacrifice in the pursuit of better living conditions for all Gambians has been heard and felt with pride and optimism in very town, village and hamlet from Kartong to Koina. On their behalf, and with humility, I thank you not only for the remittance life-line, but also for your persistent productive search for durable solutions in transforming the current debacle.

APRC Top Brass At Loggerhead

By Staff Reporter James Jammeh, Banjul

Reports reaching this paper indicate that the APRC Kombo Central branch is wrecking apart in crisis as regional party bigwigs engaged one another in a seemingly unending in fighting. Western Region Governor Lamin Sanneh, teaming up with the head chief of the area, Bakary Dembo Santang Bojang, remains at loggerhead with Dembo Jarju, former constituency chairman of the country's ruling party. And this has been causing cracks within the grassroots, with many warning of catastrophic consequences if the party fails to put it house in order.
