Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>While the move by President Barrow to investigate local government councils ahead of the forthcoming election has been met with staunch criticism by the opposition, Mamadou Bah, a 2021 Independent presidential aspirant, has praised President Adama Barrow for the move<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a wonderful move and thank you for taking the lead in fighting corruption in our society,\u201d Bah said.<\/p>\n

He added that the move is in line with President Barrow\u2019s campaign promises in 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe commission is set in the right direction for our motherland the Gambia and I stand in solidarity with President Adama Barrow on this wonderful decision,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He claimed that the commission to investigate the local council is established to investigate issues of national importance and is led by distinguished individuals and experts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey will gather and verify information, create a historical record of events, and provide a basis for further investigations on alleged concerns at the local council,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n

Bah noted that politicians should be prepared to take responsibility for their actions for the national interest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe UDP leadership should have taken the lead in establishing the commission to check the record at various councils before thinking of re-electing anyone back to the office,\u201d he suggested.<\/p>\n

He urged the opposition leaders to emulate the move by President Barrow and give him the necessary support.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe commission is more important than the local government election right now,\u201d Bah claimed, adding that taxpayers\u2019 money should be put to good use.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to put the interest of the taxpayers first if not we will remain poor and hungry.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo our duly elected commissioners, I encourage you to listen to diverse voices- including those of people who have been overlooked, forgotten, and excluded, and who are facing persistent threats to their lives and livelihoods,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He commended the president for what he described as a \u201cwonderful body to repair our tattered social fabric and help our democracy live up to its ideals.\u201d<\/p>\n
