Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Seedy S.K. Njie, Deputy Spokesperson of the National People\u2019s Party (NPP) and Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, has accused opposition parties in The Gambia of engaging in deception and harboring ill intentions toward the country.<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking on Monday during an interview on Coffee Time with Peter Gomez, Njie criticized the opposition for what he described as their \u201cdishonest\u201d political stance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe opposition, as the ruling government knew. We have accepted their position. Their position is a position of deception. Their position is a position of ill-intention for the country,\u201d Njie asserted.<\/p>\n

He acknowledged that The Gambia, like many nations, is facing economic challenges but stressed that the Barrow administration is actively implementing measures to address them.<\/p>\n

Njie pointed out that global inflation has eroded purchasing power over the years, noting that what the Dalasi or Dollar could buy two decades ago is no longer the same today. He credited President Adama Barrow with introducing \u201cprudent macroeconomic policies,\u201d including salary increments, to cushion the impact.<\/p>\n

While admitting that the price of essential commodities, such as rice, has increased, Njie claimed that rice remains cheaper in The Gambia compared to neighboring countries such as Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea-Conakry, and Ghana. \u201cAnd we have agreed that things are expensive. Rice is expensive here, but we have also agreed, and it is a fact. It is scientific. Rice is cheaper in the Gambia, to Senegal, to Guinea-Bissau, to Guinea-Conakry, to Ghana,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

He made similar comparisons regarding bread prices and fuel costs, stating that gas oil is more expensive in Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, Guinea-Conakry, Guinea-Bissau, the United Kingdom, and the United States than in The Gambia.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe agree that a loaf of bread is cheaper in the Gambia, compared to Senegal, to Guinea-Bissau. There is no government that will come into power in this country, and to state that because of their macroeconomic policy, there will not be inflation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Njie accused opposition leaders of exploiting economic hardships to mislead the public, adding that global market forces\u2014not the government\u2014are driving much of the price increases.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that the government is focusing on building industries, improving infrastructure, and attracting private sector investment to create more jobs and better wages.<\/p>\n
