You have always been a smart guy since Wesley School . Good luck in your new assignment .
you also misunderstood my comment on the issue, what I mean is that, why can't we try to sometimes face the raw thruth and venture into it to find the reality and put in on the table for discussion ?

Ousman Koro Ceesay's Death should have being thouroughly investigated, because he was a civilian, the nature of his dead, was regretable and disappointing to many Gambians, I was in Gambia.
Comment:
Brother Radiokangkang, I don't understand what you mean by (He is a civilian) ? Well to my little understanding here means sholdiers have to die...Or What....? I think the best wording you 've to use should be... He is a Gambian patriotic who was ready to share the experience with his people.
As from now, we can only take our able government seriously, if they investigate this sorrowful situation.

Don't you think many of these Brothers and Sisters are learning from the Lesson of Ousman Koro Ceesay ? If you could remember He (Mr. Ceesay) Was a Great Economist and always having a Zeal to work for his country.
That was why immediately after the "HUNTA" The Pronouncing Name for Junta in Spanish.
When they the Junta took over, Mr. Ousman Koro Ceesay and others where the first to answered to the calls for work together hand in glove for the Benefit of Kambi Bolong, But we never see him fulfilling His Ambitions because of.......................... Hope you can be able to connect the DOTS here.
MAY HIS HUMBLE SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE

Pres. Jammeh, Is not responsible for all Gambians living in the Diaspora. We shouldn't wait to be called to something that we're part of, when we think is neccesary to go back home and put my quota, just go and do it.
During PPP regime, Gambians were in the Diaspora working at the UNITED NATIONS, and the World Bank,like: Dr. Wally Ndow, Dr. Tigan Sallah and Seedy Jammeh. There is a wollof saying( LEHLA WAAR, BULLHAAR, KOLACHE OOR).
Sometimes one cannot understand when having such a bunch of Brothers and Sisters in such a High Positions.
In the service of the truth I remain
I think your suggestion is valid, HE should do some introspection- the environment is not conducive for people of this calibre to function effectively and so they'd rather work elsewhere where they can make a more meaningful contribution.
The infighting and mediocrity here is very destructive and stifles innovation.
