I don't think it was an untold story or a new revelation. This new minister is barely in office to unearth that deep. I don't know of the drawings but the billions in domestic debt was there piling. Don't you wonder why poor Gambia has about a dozen banks or more and they're all thriving, and why that Narr billionaire is served persona non grata one minute and retracted the next minute? They were our economy's chumukai. Start grabbing a copy of the Budget and take interest. It's still sold for Two Arch I guess. That's what Halifa Sallah does, it's not like he hires some PI to do the digging for him.
He felt that these things should be common knowledge and very so. But when he and his crew was going around with the Land Rover, trying to tell us what a crocodile system we had, and how grave our situation was, the scarce resources and spoils, he was heard but like the conscious Rastaman is; we listen to the vibe, nod our heads in agreement like: "degga, for real man, true talk... belahi koto bi dehfa ovala xam economy bi," and that's it. Back to our usual politics of ashobi, gala dinner, fehcha, taachu, skinny jeans and t-shirt carnivals, ak hahatai, like namunj dara. I'm glad it's an awakening. Now let's take heart, pay up the domestic debts and negotiate the external ones.
