well maybe Yankuba Colley should tell Gambians who owns the fuel coupons he uses to power his vechicle on tours and other political activities. He uses only once type of fuel coupon and it is KMC'S.
The Vechicle he uses also belongs to the KMC. So what that hell is he talking about? Oh I know; they think Gambians are sub-human; that we cannot judge things on our own even when displayed right in front of us.

INTERESTING AS KMC PRESS RELEASE FROM DAILY OBSERVER APPEAR TO CONVEY TWO MIXED-MESSAGES 
1ST PART REPRESENTS ADMINISTRATIVE / LEGAL INSTITUTION MATTERS BEING ADDRESSED AND 2ND PART APPEAR TO BE PERSONAL STATEMENTS READ AS FOLLOWS;
"KMC: Darboe's statement is misleading
Africa » Gambia
Wednesday, April 27, 2011
PART 1
The Kanifing Municipal Council (KMC) has strongly reacted to a statement made by Lawyer Ousainou Darboe, leader of the opposition United Democratic Party (UDP), alleging that Yankuba Colley, the mayor of Kanifing Municipality who is also the APRC national mobiliser, is using the funds and rates paid by compound owners in the municipality to fund party rallies.
It would be recalled that Ousainou Darboe, in a recent publication in Today newspaper said: “The mayor of Kanifing Municipality is using the funds and rates paid by me and other compound owners to fund party rallies.”
Below we reproduce the full text of the KMC’s response.
The statement by UDP leader Ousainou Darboe that Mayor Yankuba Colley is using rates paid by him and other compound owners in the Municipality to fund APRC rallies is incorrect and totally misleading. The KMC collects and spends public funds in a highly judicious and transparent manner and in accordance with the Local Government Financial Regulations.
The APRC is an established political entity with the capacity to fund its own activities without falling back on the KMC and Mr Darboe should not be the one to feed the public with misleading information. The Lord Mayor’s political activities and commitments are met exclusively by the APRC and as a senior aide to him, I know exactly how he functions as Mayor of the Municipality and the National Mobiliser for the ruling party.(ANOTHER PERSONAL STATEMENT BY WHO)
The Lord Mayor sends regular requests to his First National Chairman and party leader Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr Yahya AJJ Jammeh at the level of the APRC Bureau for all their operational needs and has drawn a distinct line between his two functions. As we speak the Mayor is in Wuli East on a political assignment and even the vehicle he is using belongs to the APRC and the party took care of his trip exclusively.
The most interesting bit of it all is that Mr Darboe has no moral authority to accuse the KMC of misusing rates allegedly paid by him and other yard owners because he happens to be one of those who fail to pay their rates. The last time Mr Darboe settled his rates was precisely on 25th August 2006 and by all indications, this was only done to clear the way for his nomination as presidential candidate for his party. To date, he owes the KMC an outstanding arrears of D6,314.16, excluding the current year.
PART 2(MIXED-MESSAGES FROM WHOM KMC SPOKESPERSON OR KMC MAYOR)
I have always regarded and treated Mr Darboe as a fatherly figure and a responsible senior citizen of this country. He should not allow his political ambition and emotions to bring personality into disrepute. The allegation he has made against the Council is a very serious one and as an institution, we have no political beef with him. If anything, he should be honest and genuine enough to pay up his arrears and apologise to the Council.

Kobo that bit seems to interest you a lot but would you be honest and fair here to ask if yahya jammeh pays his taxes to thew Brikama Area Council?
It is hypocretical on the part of the KMC for Yankuba to leave official duties we pay him to do to engage in political campaigns when there is a lot KMC has on its place as the largest Manucipality.
Gambians now a days under Jammeh are mere robots not humans and you know it. |
