Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Wuye Fatty, a member of the National Unity Party (NUP), has called on President Adama Barrow to listen to advice from members of opposition parties in the country.<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking to The Point newspaper recently, Mr Fatty said opposition members in the country \u201care not enemies of the government but partners\u201d in the struggle to develop the nation.<\/p>\n

He commended President Barrow\u2019s decision to temporarily ban or suspend all travelling of government officials till the end of the fiscal year. \u201cIt is a good move by him (President Barrow), and all the ministries and government departments should comply with the decision in the best interest of the country,\u201d the NUP opposition politician said.<\/p>\n

Mr Fatty said comments by members of the opposition in the country should be taken in good faith by the ruling party \u201cbecause all their talking\u201d or opinion on governing the country is geared towards how to develop The Gambia, for which they shouldn’t be considered as enemies of the state.<\/p>\n

“It was being said by many people in the country that the President should cut down travelling expenditures of top government officials because it has largely been a waste of government resources or funds,” he said.<\/p>\n

The money, which was being used on travelling of government officials, \u201cshould now be put into good use,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He also called on the National Assembly members to follow or adhere to the president\u2019s directives to suspend travelling till the end of the fiscal year, in the best interest of the nation.<\/p>\n

Mr Fatty further advised National Assembly members to make good use of their vehicles purchased from taxpayers\u2019 money so as \u201cto do their work effectively for the well-being of their electorate and the country at large\u201d.<\/p>\n

Hon. Madi M.K. Ceesay, National Assembly member for Serekunda West and Foreign affairs Committee member, also commended the government for the travel suspension or ban, saying: \u201cIt is a positive move cognizant of the heavy investment in the Foreign Service.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also advised on the need to henceforth reduce or maintain a minimal number of delegates sent for a meeting in a bid to save costs.<\/p>\n

Hon. Ceesay raised the issue of the vehicle policy, saying \u201cIt is sustainable for future parliamentarians.\u201d<\/p>\n
