Gambia: Telecom company donates teleprompter to Jammeh

Telecom company - Gambia's second mobile telecom operator, Africell, on Wednesday donated a teleprompter worth US$ 10,000 and a threshing machine to Gambian President Yahya Jammeh, at a ceremony held at the State House, Banjul, PANA reported from here.

Africell Managing Director, Badara Mbaye, stated that his company's activities are always in line with the president's Vision 2020 blueprint.

According to Mbaye, in 2009, his company embarked on a project expansion of 35 new cell sites with a view to reach all corners of the country.

He commended Jammeh for the conducive environment for the business community.

Jammeh described Africell as a company with a very strong team, noting that their achievements were no surprise to him.

'I have always been proud of Africell. When I look at what Africell does for the public, the first question that comes to my mind is whether they are making any profit with all what they are giving out,' he stated.

Jammeh thanked Africell for the magnanimous gesture, which he described as no small one.

The teleprompter is an electronic device used primarily to display text on the side screens, thereby enabling the user to read the text without having to look at a paper.

The threshing machine on the other hand will be used for threshing the farm produce after harvest.
