Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The Mayor of Banjul, Rohey Malick Lowe, Monday lambasted and blasted her critics for sabotaging her work and overshadowing the development she has brought to the capital city of The Gambia.<\/b><\/p>\n

The country\u2019s only female mayor hit back at his critics while facing journalists, after submitting her required nomination documents to the electoral authorities at Banjul, to present a discourse aimed at her supporters.<\/p>\n

She was accompanied to the IEC Banjul regional office by a large crowd of supporters, well-wishers and members of her party, the United Democratic Party, all dressed in yellow, which is the party\u2019s symbol.<\/p>\n

Concerning her critics, Lowe started by asking: \u201cSo what they are making noise about and all that they are promising Banjul, is it today that they can come out and speak about it?<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us just say the truth for God\u2019s sake. I heard that they are coming out promising to give money to the people of Banjul and scholarships, but where were they 5 years ago?<\/p>\n

\u201cI went for election, and when I won, I wrote to all those who lost and invited them. I told them, \u2018Come let us strive together and work\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mayor said none except two people \u2013 Alagie Jah and Pa Njie \u2013 came to join her in her effort to bring development to the doorstep of Banjulians.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey alone responded and came to work with me. But the rest sat down. What they wanted is to be Mayor by force, but that is left with the people of Banjul,\u201d she remarked.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have brought you the EU project. But they said I ate the money from the EU project. EU never gave us 180 million euros. EU gave us 3.2 million euros.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayor Lowe attributed EU\u2019s intervention into The Gambia\u2019s local government matters to her idealistic leadership, saying: \u201cI am so proud to say EU never gave the local government money. This is the first time EU came to the local government, because I was made to understand that it is at the local level where the impact is. They gave us 3.2 million euros, which was at that time 180 million dalasis.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a sarcastic tone, she thus said: \u201cBut because they don\u2019t understand issues, they think that the money was filled in a bag and brought to my office and told, \u2018take it\u2019. It doesn\u2019t work that way.\u201d<\/p>\n
