'VAT MACHINES ARE KILLING BUSINESSES IN GAMBIA,' BUSINESSMEN COMPLAIN

Business Owners Say The Gambia Is Not Yet Ready For VAT; Lamenting About The Worthiness Of The Machines

Local businesses in the Gambia are not the least happy with the recently introduced Value Added Tax (VAT) machines, which were imported into the country by businessman Muhammed Jah's Quantum net company.  Their displeasure is centered around the machines' "worthiness, lack of reliability and proper maintenance" in the event of system glitch issues. The VAT machines were said to have been imported from Germany. The Ministry of Finance is reported to have spent D36 Million dalasi in purchasing the VAT machines. But the machines are not popular in the market. Business owners said the machine are not that effective and once it is reported faulty, it is hard to get it fixed. This is the machine that the regime uses to calculate VAT  sales taxes leveled against consumers and business owners at cash registers.

Gambia mourns death of Archbishop Tilewa Johnson

Gambia - Threaten A Soldier Who Looks At Him Weirdly At The Wrestling Ground; Soldier Sarjo Badjie Yanked Out From JK’s Security Detail!

 

Last Saturday while in Kanilai with our sick “President Jallow Kanilai” a rather embarrassing incident happened at the park. The paranoid and confused JK confronted one of our soldiers Sarjo Badjie and verbally assaulted him in my presence. Sarjo Badjie is married to JK’s niece Ndey Jammeh. JK’s beef against Sarjo was; he said he doesn’t like the way Sarjo looks at him while he (JK) was at the park behaving foolish and stupid while a wrestling contest he organized was in high gears.

We escorted the President from his little villa in Kanilai to a nearby park, where he was acting crazy by touching and robbing his hands on the wrestlers heads and body. JK would occasionally pretend to be praying for the wrestlers by putting his praying beads on their head.

Ahead of March polls -Bissau authorities begin registration of 35,000 nationals in Gambia


 
Thursday, January 16, 2014

As the dust surrounding the upcoming March 16th presidential and parliamentary elections gather pace, the Bissau-Guinean authorities have begun the biometric voter registration process of its 35,000 nationals in The Gambia. 

 

The process that began earlier this week came against the backdrop of a series of sensitisation programmes by the Bissau-Guinean authorities in Banjul.

 

Polls in Bissau were initially scheduled for November 24th, 2013 after a military coup cancelled the 2012 elections, but due to several logistical problems and other administrative constraints, it has been shifted to March 16 2014. Given the length of the transitional period, authorities are poised to conduct the elections come what may.

The Soldier's Survival Guide For Gambian Detainees; VP Njie Saidy To Be Replaced By Fatou Mass Jobe Soon!

 

By The Soldier

 

Pa, This is The Soldier again. Permission to write SIR. My able boss we just finished our Saturday meeting at our head quarters in Dakar, we have received a lot of updates from Banjul. We are working on many stories. One story is that very soon the vice president will be replaced by the tourism minister, TIME WILL TELL. The other update we have for you my able boss is that dictator Jammeh sickness is getting worst. He is taking some medicine which makes him sleep a lot and when he is awake he talks very slow. Do you know that dictator Jammeh refused to have surgery in France. When the whole procedure was explained to him, he refused surgery and issued directives that he should fly back home. He wanted a quick surgery and did not want to stay in France for a long time. Devil Zeinab was very mad at dictator Jammeh and that is one of the reasons why she did not come back. 

Gambia - JAMMEH CALLS FOR AFRICAN SOLUTIONS TO CONTINENT’S PROBLEMS


 
Tuesday, December 31, 2013

The president of the Republic has stressed the need for the continent’s citizens to sacrifice their lives for the sake of peace and security in Africa, saying, “we must find African solutions to African problems”.  

 

Speaking Monday while addressing members of the African Union Peace and Security Council as well as other delegates who called on him at State House in Banjul shortly after the end of their emergency meeting on the situation of South Sudan and Central African Republic, His Excellency Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr. Yahya Jammeh emphasised that the continent must be prepared to solve African problems in Africa. “If we decided that we are going to be members of the Peace and Security Council, then we must be ready to sacrifice our lives. So this meeting is timely as it will prepare us to know what we should talk about in order to resolve these problems in our continent,” he told the delegates.

Gambia - JK'S New Year Gift To The Press: Taranga Radio And Standard Newspaper Reopen!

 

JK'S New Year Gift To The Press: "Tip Taranga radio and The Standard newspaper are announced opened by GRTS. You may monitor GRTS news for details," My source hinted. JK is busy appeasing the nation after the collateral damage that he has inflicted on both the Standard and Taranaga. Ismaila Ceesay was forced into exile to settle in the UK, while Sheriff Bojang was rendered jobless for over a year. JK's relationship with the press is like that of cat and mouse. Let wait and see who will be his next victim in his crusade to end press freedom.

The opening of the Taranga and Standard Newspaper was part of the European Union Article 8, 17 Point Demands, which Jammeh had earlier rubbishes as an attempt to install a puppet government in Banjul. Slowly, but the surely, the mighty EU would accomplish its agenda--by ensuring that the regime in Banjul embarks on governance reform. Jammeh cannot rule the Gambia in isolation. He needs that EU money, he often calls "Chicken Change money" to run his government.

As we speak, the health sector is in complete tatters. There are no drugs in our health facilities across the country. Salaries for Civil Servants are being delayed largely due to lack of funds to pay workers.

Dictator Jammeh Missing In The Public View Amid Ailing Health Condition; SG Sabally Bars From Accessing Jammeh At This Hour; Jammeh Is Between Life And Death!

By The Soldier

Pa, This is The Solder again. Permission to write my able boss. Pa and fellow Gambians state house is tight and security is high. The Soldier can assure you that something is terribly wrong with dictator Jammeh and nobody including superKanja SG Sabally can see him. We cannot confirm if he had the surgery, but it appears that he underwent some type of medical treatment and the Syrian doctors  have taken over. No Gambian doctor or Cuban doctor is allowed to see dictator Jammeh. Only Syrian doctors and co-president Saul Badjie can see dictator Jammeh. Dictator Jammeh is indoors and not coming out. SOMETHING IS WRONG.
