He reminded that the day is required by laws so as to avail members the opportunity to engage the board and to provide detail information on issues of their concerns and to participate in the future governance process by providing relevant and credible information and ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n

For his part, Pa Singhateh, a manager at the Gambia Police Force Cooperative Credit Union (GPFCCU), said they will continue to advocate for more savings and limited expenses to tackle the effects of inflation by managing the limited resources in order to meet their priorities.<\/p>\n
