Mr
President congratulations for resuming the construction of the Farafenni
Bridge.
We
the citizens of Senegambia will soon be able to travel in and out of Gambia and
Senegal ANYTIME we want without worrying about ferry schedules.
We
also know Gambia government will accrue a lot of revenue from the toll fees and
will not worry about endless ferry maintenance expenses ANYMORE. Thank you Sir.
Mr
President, I learnt from the Senegalese media that SENELEC the electricity
company of Senegal are willing and ready to connect the Gambia’s NAWEC to their
electricity grid.
This
electricity grid connection will provide the Gambia with constant electricity
supply and make the dreaded blackouts a thing of the past.
Mr
President Gambians are tired of electricity blackout existing in both the PPP
and the APRC regimes.
It
is high time to resolve this issue once and for all. Without constant and
relatively cheap electricity supply, encouraging local industrial development
will be slow and make investors hesitant.
It
is therefore of UTMOST important to give a dead line for the connection of the
Senelec grid to Nawec grid.
The
settlement accounts of the connection can also be made in CFA franc that is
readily available in the market.
Mr
President I cannot close this chapter without informing you that Gambians are
still not happy about the issue surrounding the VP’s office. Please resolve the
issue as soon as possible and make it a thing of the past.
Mr
President, fear no one but Allah and Allah will protect you in return.
Mr
President Gambians are generally happy to note that some of your Ministers are
doing a good job and we encourage them to be results oriented and timely in
their entrusted missions.
My
next issue will dwell on the telecommunication industry.
Have
a good day Mr President.
