  1. Mr Bojang should first start his transparency with Dictator jammeh who is richer than Gambian state. Jammeh’s corruption and mismanagement of state resources is there for all to see . Mr Bojang should stop telling lies to Gambian people . A day will come when he and his master will be accountable to Gambian people , that day is fast approaching .
