He owes the Gambians a lot, the money he was stealing and wasting during their wasteful PPP era. KOTO, you finish.

OJ has done a lot for the people of his constituency, and that is what he was loved and voted for. He still feels he can do more. A simple, down to earth and public service oriented person, he is by all means still capable. Take your prejudicial grudges against OJ and keep it where the sun does not shine, You need to know the person before saying stupid unwarranted stuff about him.

I knew OJ since he was a young guy.I have no grudge against him.But tell me one good thing he has done other than corrupting out his post.If it were not the ramadan I can list you all his..... you know what.Were you one his guys? You see if you think this sick old power hungry monster will in his life rule the Gambia then just go campama.I used to meet this old fellow at clubs all over.As an MP what substantial did he do other send children of Yai compins to America?AS a minister his dept was list developed only Sere kunda boys had jobs to go onto the Korean and other fishing trawlers.He was a minister for his constituency only?Ous I know you will say that I am an idiot but thanks and let you not push me to the edge. O j the best for you now is go to the mosque instead.Your brain is too degenerated to cope up with our generation.

Lets judge ourselves first before judging others. OJ is not the most perfect person in the country. And like every politician, he has his success and failures. Lets commend him where he did good and help amend his shortfalls.
OJ is a far better politician than Jammeh. He was never arrogant and rude and has always respected the wishes of his electorates. And even if he was corrupt as some people alleged, he was never found guilty of corruption and administrative malpractices by the commissions of inquiry set up by Jammeh to probe him. He was only found guilty of non tax payer to his house (now housing the NYSS) which was confiscated. In fact, a government white paper released in 2001-2002 vindicated him.
Now lets look at Jammeh and his ministers. I am paid more than him but he has an aircraft. How could afford to buid mansions in his Kanilai worth millions of Dalasis when he is paid only £500?
He makes us believe that our health and education system are the best while he spents thousands of pounds to send his wife to the US just to deliver. Is his daughter attending any of the public schools you people moaning about OJ have attended?
Gambians need to stop being bigheaded and see what is happening around them.
