PAY FOR THEIR KIDS SCHOOL FEES

The Sunday Beach party is not well received here in the country. Some concerned Gambians who spoke to this reporter said such funds should have been used to buy the farmers groundnuts.

GAMBIAN KIDS EXPOSED TO KORA

The 30 year  old man went further to say "I and my family in the village will not vote for the APRC because the President is well aware that the groundnuts are not yet bought and he is planning to spend more than 2 million dalsis in just one day, that is just very very serious, but because we Gambians are fools we will not vote for him again. That 2 million dalasis could have been used to pay more than 1 thousand farmers because many of them are not receiving more than D20, 000. We should pray that Allah rescue us from this horrible situation" he said.

It could be recalled that the President spend more than 60 million dalasison the Under 17 tournament upon their returned from Peru. The president is well known for his extravagant life style, while millions are dying of hunger and disease.
