I
am completely delighted to send you my congratulations on your Honourable new
rank as the Governance Advisor, which I believe is the most suitable position
for you in the new Government. And in terms of honour and respect, it is the
highest. So help you GOD!
Then
on behalf of the entire larger extended Conteh family of Kaur Janneh Kunda, and
their others in Bundung, London Corner, Kotu, Kanifing Estate, Bijilo, and then
on behalf of all the rest, and on my own behalf, I am please sending our
collective warmest greeting to your President, H.E Mr. Adama Barrow and his
government and his (two) charming, First Ladies and the last but not the least,
to your own big Lady, Mrs Sallah.
Now
on the general development agenda of the new Government, if I were to cry-out
for mitigation in the middle of the inauguration crowd for both the general
public and the new government to hear me loudly crying out for my other fellow
rural Gambians and not directly for myself, I would be saying: ROADS first! ROADS first! ROADS first! Because to what I can see as
the first and urgent need for today’s Gambia general development agenda, some
of the dilapidated main roads and the other feeders mainly in the rural areas
should over top all other immediate priorities in regards to urgency.
The
cry out would only mean better Gambia for all, but for me myself, I am not that
much directly affected by any of the main and feeder roads in question. Anyway,
I know that all these roads have been and still in an unbearable condition for
a long time now, and the main users have been suffering from every day ‘to and
fro’ hardship of their places. Please, Honourable seek their immediate rescue
from your President. I think there is no need to tell the Government ofTthe
Gambia where and where are quite badly affected.
Once
more, congratulations!
Bakary
Dembo M.S. Conteh
