Gambia To Change OfficialLanguage To Arabic!!!
When I told Gambians some years ago that Jallow Kanilai is a radicalized Islamic extremist, some thought that I was being critical of the Kanilai monster. There is more into his anti western bashing. Guess what? JK wants to change Gambia's official language into Arabic. Lol!!! Though it is hard to believe, but it is a subject of discussion in army barracks and public places. This could be a tactical move on the side of JK to appease his Arab new allies. He is desperately in need of cash and he will do whatever it takes to appease the Arabs.
IT IS HIGH TIME THE IMF, THE WORLD BANK AND THE EU TO COMMISSION A TAX ENQUIRY INTO JAMMEH’S NUMEROUS BUSINESS ACTVITIES.
Yaya Jammeh became a businessman around 1997 or thereabout. A prominent Gambian businessman and his Lebanese partners open a new company under the watchful eye of Yaya Jammeh. The said company started importing fuel products into the country around 1998. This company operates under the same name ever since under an exclusivity regime, which expired this year and is recently extended to 2016. No one knows if this company pays import duties and sales taxes and income tax for its operations? No government official dares ask questions to this company. The same company shareholders with government minority shareholding built the Mandinary Fuel depot and a tanker landing strip where tankers unload their cargo without the presence of Gambian authorities. At times even local company staff are ask to go home whiles the ships unload. There are no statistics available for the Mandinary fuel depot operations.
