Mr. Faal made this remark in an audio shared with this medium on the celebration of Eid-ul Fitr on last week Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike all patriotic Gambians, I am saddened by the constant increasing high cost of living, lack of opportunity for the young people which drives them to take the deadly journeys to Europe with many losing their lives in the process, the increasing drug problem especially amongst the youth,\u201d he catalogued a long list of problems faced by Gambians.<\/p>\n

He continues: \u201cThe unchecked borrowing that is draining the little national resources we have, the dipping lack of safety and security in the country, the corruption and state capture that has gripped the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Faal went on to point out that the failure to implement promised reforms and the TRRC recommendations, as among the Barrow Government\u2019s failings. \u201cThe failure to pass a new democratic constitution despite spending huge amount of money, the undue delay in putting in place a framework to guarantee a voting rights of Gambians in the diaspora, stagnant wages for civil servants, and the poor health system and poor health infrastructure,\u201d Faal highlighted as among other problems faced by Gambians.<\/p>\n

The Sobeya team leader stated that he would not delve into the collective troubles people face since Eid is a joyous day, but he was quick to vow that in the not-too-distant future, he would release statements on each of the topics mentioned above and propose policy consideration to address the desirable situations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would do so not because of my political responsibility but rather because of the fear of urgency for all Gambians to rise and challenge the status quo to find durable collective solutions to these collective problems in doing so. I invite all Gambians to put aside all divisions and to unite around a common purpose to take all the measures necessary to put the Gambia family back on track to peace, security, economic development, and prosperity for all our people,\u201d Faaladded.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, the former presidential candidate extended Eid greetings to the entire Muslims and extended Easter greetings to the Christian community in the recently completed lent.<\/p>\n
