He challenged the Government to solve the issue of the water dilemma in these areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur survival has been threatened by the fishmeal factories. The fishmeal factories need more fish to process while we struggle to get fish,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said this has an effect on the increase in the price of fish in the market, but the Government is silent over the issue which is threatening the survival of people.<\/p>\n

He said the lawmakers have not received the allowance that was added to their salary in the budget since January.<\/p>\n

On the diplomatic passport saga, he said President Barrow should be held responsible for whatever happened because he called himself the \u2018bus driver\u2019. He said there are members of Mankamang Kunda as well as some members of the Barrow Youth Movement who were issued with diplomatic passports.<\/p>\n

\u201cUntil the investigative committee set up to probe the diplomatic passport issue come with its recommendations, we should hold President Barrow accountable because he calls himself the bus driver,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Salifu Jawo, the member for Jokadou said travelling from North Bank to Banjul is a nightmare.<\/p>\n

He challenged the Gambia Ports Authority (GPA) to improve on its service delivery to the taxpayers.<\/p>\n

He said the people of Jokadou have been left behind for 54 years of nationhood.<\/p>\n

He said the only health facilities in his constituency are in Sukuta and Brufut. He urged the Government to provide them with a referral hospital.<\/p>\n

He said the scarcity of fish in the country is caused by the presence of foreign vessels in Gambian waters. He said the Government should train youths in his area on fishing so that they can fetch fish for domestic consumption rather than allow foreigners fish indiscriminately.<\/p>\n

He said lack of access to good roads is still a daydream for his people.<\/p>\n

Ousman Sillah for Banjul North asked the Government what they have for people working in the informal sector to access loans and other facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat kind of initiative does the Government has to help these people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said the Government should ensure they help the people access materials such as fishing gears so that the domination by fishing trawlers owned generally by non-Gambians would be addressed. He said this will enable the young people to become economically engage.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should not be relying on license fees, fines, damages and aids as a source of our revenue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
