The meeting\u2019s agenda was to present an update on the Commission\u2019s readiness for the upcoming 2024 Hajj pilgrimage.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>During the briefing, Secretary-General Foday Ceesay emphasized the commission\u2019s preparedness despite challenges. He expressed gratitude for the support received from commissioners, staff, the Ministry, the Office of the President, and the Central Bank of the Gambia. Ceesay reported that 60% of services had been successfully processed through the E-system, with significant cooperation from operators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am glad to inform you that despite some challenges, thus, with the support of my commissioners, Staff, the line Ministry, the office of the President, and the Central Bank of the Gambia, 60% of all services have been successfully paid in the E-system. The Cooperation of operators also contributed significantly,\u201d he highlighted.<\/p>\n<p>Ceesay further revealed the Hajj package rates for 2024, calculated based on the Central Bank of the Gambia\u2019s exchange rate of 67.25. The rates per travel agency are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Gambia International Airline: D 498,995<br \/>\nAmana Travel and Tours: D 523,474<br \/>\nBanjul Travel Agency: D 524,550<br \/>\nAlfaz Travel Agency: D 531,275<br \/>\nMaya Global Travel Agency: D 529,795<br \/>\nCrossbreed Travels: D 529,930<br \/>\nContinental Travels: D 530,131<br \/>\nAlhuda Travel Agency: D 531,275<br \/>\nTivaouane Travel and Tours: D 531,275<br \/>\nGroupo Soninkara Travel Agency: D 531,275<br \/>\nOrbit Travel Agency: D 531,275<br \/>\nAlgasimou Travel Agency: D 531,275<br \/>\nTravel Express Agency: D 531,275<br \/>\nThese figures were finalized after the Commission\u2019s thorough review of all operator packages, which initially peaked at GMD 575,000.<\/p>\n<p>Ceesay highlighted the commission\u2019s adherence to Saudi regulations, emphasizing that all financial transactions must go through the Office of National Hajj Commission. He explained the process of fund transfer and payment to service providers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Commission opened an account in Saudi Arabia where all funds are transferred for further transferred to the E-system of Operators to pay their service providers, e.g., Hotels, catering, Mina Service, Zone fee, etc.\u201d he told the NAMs.<\/p>\n<p>He said the Commission faced a setback, missing the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah\u2019s first payment deadline\u2014February 25, 2024\u2014due to operators\u2019 reliance on pilgrim payments to meet their financial obligations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, most of the operators solely rely on the payment received from Pilgrims, without which, they cannot make any payment. This has caused the lateness of mission the first deadline set by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ceesay also noted that the Commission, with assistance from the Ministry and the Central Bank, provided USD liquidity to operators for immediate payments through the E-system, particularly for Mina tent allocations. However, delays in these payments resulted in the loss of the preferred Zone 2 location at Mina, relegating the Gambia\u2019s allocation to another zone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important to note that Hajj is organized and managed by the Saudi government; therefore, they make guidelines and rules to be followed by all countries. This year, the Mina tent allocation is based on first come, first served. The Gambia has signed for Zone 2 at Mina, but because of the delay in payment, we could not get Zone 2; instead, we are located in Zone 4,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ceesay informed the committee about the scheduled departure of the first flight for the 2024 Hajj on June 1, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing challenges in Saudi Arabia, Ceesay raised concerns about an outdated ambulance and inadequate financial support from the Ministry. He highlighted the need for a new ambulance and additional funding to cover expenses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur ambulance is an outdated one; we cannot use it in Mina, even in the cities. Sometimes we face issues with the police because it is an outdated one. We have spoken about this, and we are working on it. We don\u2019t know whether, in the next budget, you can (National Assembly) work on it so that we can get an ambulance in Saudi Arabia because it is a very big challenge we are facing right now,\u201d he outlines.<\/p>\n<p>The Secretary-General also highlighted the financial constraints faced by the Commission, noting that the Ministry\u2019s funding does not fully meet its operational costs. He drew attention to the disparity between the Commission\u2019s extensive responsibilities and the financial support provided.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on the previous year, he mentioned that the Commission did not receive any financial grants. However, this year marked a change, with an allocation of D1.5 million. Despite this, there is an anticipation for additional funds to adequately cover all expenses, as their current financial means fall short.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t also have a utility car in the Gambia, which is also part of our challenge when we have programs to go to; we use our Umarah\u2019s car, but the most important one is the ambulance in Saudi Arabia,\u201d he said.<\/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.
