UDP-U.K Receives $1000 (D27, 000) from Haruna Darboe AtlantaOn behalf of the Chairman and the entire UDP-U.K chapter members, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Haruna Darboe for a generous donation to the United Democratic Party.One thousand Dollars is a lot of money to sacrifice for a good cause. The amount is equivalent to D27, 000 (twenty seven thousand dalasis).
We thank Haruna for choosing to transmit the funds through our young Chapter. It will give us immense scope for aiming higher and continue the efforts in working hard towards a stronger UDP and a free Gambia. Haruna’s democratic credentials are there for all to see. His realisation that, politics equals good sources of funding cannot be faulted. Barack Obama’s eloquence alone did not provide him the smooth passage to the American Presidency, but also cumulative contributions of the ranks and files of the American populace.
Haruna alluded to us that, it is because of the UDP-U.K sole donation of a tune of D100, 000 to towards the just concluded Congress that motivated him to add his quota. Today, we have received the funds and the Chairman Mr Kanjura Kanyi wishes us to thank Haruna for his generous contributions.
Although Haruna is not a member of the UDP, his stance towards Gambia’s democratisation always compel him to contribute regularly to Gambia’s political parties. I hope many in the Diaspora can emulate Haruna Darboe by putting their money where it matters. It is not easy to part with hard earned resources; however, politics is not cheap. We are competing against a dictator who has our entire state machinery at his disposal. Yet we take it upon ourselves to barrage the opposition parties without us willing to sacrifice for the cause.
Let us all be formidable stakeholders and contribute to our hard working opposition parties. Whichever party you support, please donate to them; they need your support more than anything. The funds will go a long way in making the rallies and campaign process easier.

The oppositions parties are barred from having air time on the Gambia Radio and Television services. The only best way to disseminate their message is by conducting rallies and visiting Gambians across the country. This duties cost money. Imagine the cost of fuel, car maintenance, food, refreshments, accommodations, emergency health issues and the high legal bills but to name a few.
Finally, we salute you Haruna for the donation. The funds will be remitted to the UDP head office very shortly. The newly elected party Secretary General, Alh. Ousainou Darboe has been notified of your kind donations. He expressed delight and gratitude for the gesture. As customs dictates, we pray that, many more thousands of Dollars replace the amount you sacrificed. You have inspired a lot of people.
