Regarding the purpose, 58% saw it as for transparency, 41% as a witch-hunt, and 31% for addressing corruption. These findings indicated diverse opinions among citizens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom an overall perspective, 37% of the total respondents indicated that they followed the commission\u2019s proceedings, while 63% do not. Delving deeper into the LGA perspective, intriguing differences emerged,\u201d the report stated.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, Kuntaur as observed presents a higher engagement rate with the commission, with 40% of respondents actively following the proceedings. Simultaneously, the number of respondents explicitly stating \u201cNo\u201d is lower at 60% compared to the other LGAs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis suggests that while a substantial portion of individuals in Kuntaur followed the commission, there\u2019s also a relatively lower proportion outrightlydisengaged or uninterested in its proceedings. In contrast, Janjanbureh exhibits the lowest percentage of respondents actively following the commission (32%), significantly lower than Kuntaur. Despite this lower engagement, the percentage of respondents who explicitly stated \u201cNo\u201d (68%) is also comparatively higher than Kuntaur. This indicates a more nuanced perspective in Janjanbureh, with a significant portion not actively engaged but fewer outright disinterested individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report pointed out that Basse falls between Kuntaur and Janjanbureh in termsof not following of the commission\u2019s proceedings. Here, 39% of respondents indicated following the proceedings, and the proportion of respondents stating \u201cNo\u201d is lower compared to Kuntaur (61%). Kuntaurportrays a more balanced engagement, with a moderate following and a relatively lower number of respondents expressing disinterest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese variations among the LGAs reflect nuanced patterns in how communities engage with the commission\u2019s affairs. Basse displays higher involvement, Janjanbureh indicates lower overall engagement but a more moderate disinterest rate, while Kuntaur showcases a more balanced and moderate level of engagement,\u201d the CRC report stated.<\/p>\n<p>The report further stated that contextual factors, such as historical relationships with local governance structures, access to information, socio-economic factors, or perceptions of the commission\u2019s relevance, could contribute to these differences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnderstanding these nuances is crucial for tailoring outreach efforts or strategies to enhance engagement with the commission across these diverse LGAs,\u201d the report concluded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
