We
are moved to humbly inform all our esteemed readers, both in and out of the
country, that we have just entered a transition period of a new dispensation of
our beloved nation The Gambia.
We
are much elated to see the sound and good remarks and propositions being sent
to us for publication for the consumption of the general public, especially our
readership and particularly for the incoming president, his coalition
government and supporters.
We
really appreciate your efforts and concern to see a peaceful and unified
Gambia, as it has ever been, as well as to ensure a development-oriented
government that will change The Gambia for the better.
Most
of the letters and opinions sent to us for publication have touched on very
salient issues, which are all gearing towards putting The Gambia on a right
footing.
While
some are calling for peace and harmony without regard to race, tribe, religion
and other orientations, others are sharing the scope of the roadmap for success
for the coalition government, and several are bordering on the priceless
aspects of peace, unity, democracy, and the rule of law, saying no to
intimidation, segregation and violence, which are inimical to progress.
We
appreciate all of these beautiful ideals, thought-provoking and intelligent
ideas concerning the way forward in reconstructing a new Gambia with onward
march to progress and development.
We
are certainly on the path to achieving freedom of expression, and there is
light of press freedom at the end of the tunnel. So let’s keep up the momentum,
as we provide the medium for a mixture of views and opinions on how our nation
is to be governed, even as we see the transition period through to a new
authority and dispensation. We
appreciate you all!
“A
word for the wise is enough”

Point
