Africa-Press – Gambia. Coalition of Progressive Gambia hereby registered our total disappointment and lack of trust in the newly constituted commission of inquiry designed to investigate the conduct of councils mainly headed by opposition parties.
You may recall that the COPG mount a massive campaign against corruption, mismanagement of public resources, and the daily hikes in the prizes of basic commodities. We were called for dialogue by the Supreme Islamic Council in which the government was fully involved and therefore, participated in all sittings to find tangible and meaningful solutions to our demands without the movement going out on the streets to express our grievances, which the executive members of the COPG agreed to and therefore, postponed the November 11 nationwide peaceful demonstration until further notice.
But to our dismay, no single serious measures or actions were taken either to tackle the rising prices of basic commodities or any political will to combat the rampant corruption in the Barrow government.
It is with big disappointment that the Coalition Of Progressives Gambia notes the biased establishment of a commission of inquiry to partially investigate corruption within local councils while the same principal body swims in corruption only to give deaf ears and blind eyes to their massive corruption malpractice.
