First of all, Mr. Yahya, if in fact had or has that amount. It did not all come from Gambia. Mr. Samba is quoted as saying ‘the amount referenced for Panama may be a total of what passed through the accounts’; (Or it may be what is there). Time and Exploration will tell! Every venture has a start and he and the Associates had theirs. That could be 1994; however, we believe it has roots beginning on or about 1996/98. A review of the early associates (Tarek Musa, Baba Jobe, Samba and of course the other (4) Coup Participants) will be germane to any investigation.

On Oct. 6, Mugabe’s wife accused Mnangagwa of a dark past of clandestine plots, including planning to stage a coup around the time of Zimbabwe’s independence in 1980.

The Gambia has reached the level of “a paranoid state.” A paranoid state, is a state, in which fear rules. In our case, the government of the day is living in an unnecessary anxiety, fear and worry. Hence, any slightest demand by the citizenry to exercise their constitutional rights to peacefully assemble to vent their grievances against failed institutions such as NAWEC, is denied under the pretext of frivolous security concerns. A paranoid state hardly accomplishes developmental goals for her people. It focuses on compiling enemies list; fortifying security agencies; and the protection of the political class at the expense of poor taxpayers. Deggit (meaning HARD FACTS) .
