You’re
Excellency,
I
take this golden opportunity to congratulate you on your victory and
celebration of the independence of our dear mother land under your visionary
leadership in the smiling coast of Africa.
Your
Excellency Sir, being the chief servant of the Gambian people. I think that it
is quiet important to bring to your attention issues that will make The Gambia
huge and great as per your philosophy “one Gambia, one people, and one nation”.
You
Excellency Sir, once again may I remind you that there are many inmates in
various prisons across the countries who are Gambians. I deem it necessary for
them to take part in the voting processes to elect their candidate since they
are Gambians too.
The
inmates encompass a large portion of the population, whom are not represented
since they don’t vote for the person of their choice who shall represent them
at such important tradition such as Presidential, Parliamentary, Councillorship
and Mayoral. In other to make The Gambia the last place of hope on earth.
Your
Excellency, I am appealing to you and your administration to make a SWOT
analysis and a feasibility study to
access the impact of my request as per the voting of the inmates.
In
another development road accidents have been on the increase in the country in
spite of the precaution of the traffic authorities. Many young and innocent
persons lose their lives every day.
These
road accidents occur due to the lack of civic sense in the people and their
ignorance of road and traffic signals. The pedestrians are overrun because they
try to cross the roads at places of their choice. The number of accidents of
people riding scooters and bicycles are very high because most of the young men
are beginners and do not know how to ride on traffic.
Another
cause of the fatal accidents is rash driving. The truck drivers are mostly dead
drunk and, therefore, care not a fig for traffic rules. They drive their trucks
at a high speed even through congested localities, and crush down whoever comes
in the way.
It
is high time that authorities took a serious view of the lapses on the part of
the drivers. This can be done only by levying heavy fines and the forfeiture of
their licenses. Licenses, too, should be checked frequently.
I
shall be grateful if you kindly give publicity to the matter so that the
traffic authorities wake up to the need of security of the people and take
strong measures against the erring drivers.
The
Gambia belongs to us The Gambians both those home and abroad, and by putting
our thoughts on paper we shall reach at a solution.
Finally
I take this superb prospect to thank you on your dynamic headship style in ensuring
all Gambians the freedom of expression.
Thank
you
