Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The Gambia Government has announced the formation of a commission of inquiry to investigate the death of 70 children reportedly of kidney failure after taking contaminated medicine imported from India.<\/p>\n

The announcement followed an emergency meeting called by the president over the crisis that has caused a national outcry last week. The meeting decided on setting up a broad-based Commission of Inquiry whose terms and composition will be gazetted shortly.<\/p>\n

According to a fresh statement from government released over the weekend, the president has said the outbreak is a challenging time for it and the Gambian people and called on all to close ranks and work together to confront the crisis.<\/p>\n

Barrow was also quoted as saying that his government is committed to unearth the detail of the case as the children died as a result of unusual circumstances.<\/p>\n

However, the opposition United Democratic Party leader Ousainou Darboe has played down the significance of the government\u2019s decision to set up a Commission of Inquiry to probe the crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow can you congratulate people and at the same set up a Commission of Inquiry against them,\u201d he asked at a UDP rally in Jambur.<\/p>\n
