Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The National Assembly of The Gambia has yesterday passed the much delayed Anti-Corruption Bill, paving way for transparency and accountability in the country.<\/b><\/p>\n

The bill has suffered years of neglect at the assembly with the 5th legislature failing to pass it despite public pressure.<\/p>\n

The bill has been passed but not without the controversial removal of certain clauses at the displeasure of transparency organisations.<\/p>\n

In a short reaction on X, Marr Nyang, whose organisation has been at the forefront of the fight against corruption and the passing of the bill, said: \u201cSeven years ago, we started the advocacy on the streets, to communities across the country and then to national level for the introduction and legislation of a new Anti-Corruption law. Today the law is passed! What a journey it has been.\u201d<\/p>\n
