So, does this mean all unoccupied government properties would be allocated at will? The current official residence of the Vice President is unoccupied. I guess we should expect it to be allocated as well. This is ridiculous,\u201d stated the former Gambian diplomat. He added: \u201cFormer President Jawara\u2019s residence, which is a few meters away, was not a government allocation as some government officials want us to believe. That property belonged to the Catholic Diocese of the Gambia and he got it from them well before he became the First President of this country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Barrow, like any other Gambian, has the right to be to allocated land, but the problem here is that this land is not a reserved land or a layout for allocation.
