Just a thought,with all this biometric technology ,going on in the Gambia at the moment,
Which company has the job of purchasing and implementing these systems?,
Where is the country of origin of the supplies ?
Can such a programme which must be expensive be justified whilst the average Gambian is having a problem with survival?
Who is paying the bill? |

There I go again Momodou,posting without doing research, this time it was my own posting, that initial posting generated no interest no one bothered to respond, however I find it quite interesting that the company is part of a US enterprise that is in The Gambia.Who is paying the bill ? this stuff is not cheap,is Prestine funding the programme out of the goodness of its heart? or is it perhaps being funded from elswhere,the Gambian government is an unlikely source of funds. |
