Africa-Press<\/a> – Gambia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>By Adama Makasuba<\/p>\n

Dr Ismaila Ceesay, leader of Citizens\u2019 Alliance (CA), one of the opposition parties in the country has caused President Adama Barrow of pursuing his party\u2019 s agenda on \u2018meet the people tour\u2019 at the expense of the tax payers in the country.<\/p>\n

President Adama Barrow on 7th December started a 30 days nationwide tour as mandated by the country\u2019s constitution.<\/p>\n

Dr Ceesay, who also lectures at the University of the Gambia, told reporters at a news conference organized by his party that President Barrow has flouted the constitution by extending what he called a \u201ctwo weeks tour to 30 days using tax payers\u2019 money and state resources.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd everything you see in this tour is not about the country (but) is about the NPP (National People\u2019s Party). So, we condemn the act that the current President is doing especially with regards to the tour, spending millions of tax payers\u2019 money to go on a tour to promote a particular political party\u2019s agenda,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

To him, people crossing carpeting from party to party should not be the agenda of the President\u2019s meet the people tour and \u201cNPP flag being rise and so on shouldn\u2019t be an agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n

Consequently, he also hinted that President Barrow\u2019s administration is planning to cheat the 2021 presidential election.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cwhen you want a credible free and fair election, with integrity that will provide stability in the country, you must plan this election properly ahead. But currently there is no consensus and this government is planning to cheat this (2021 presidential) election on a massive scale and that stealing has started and we concern about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Defending his accusation, his party has seen how President Adama Barrow is using the state broadcaster (GRTS) airtime to pursue his political agenda, despite the fact that GRTS is a public institution that supposes to give equal access to all political parties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
