The challenges in this country are enormous, and I think, really looking at all the odds, I see that I can present myself as a possible solution,\u201d Sanneh stated.<\/p>\n<p>On the party\u2019s vetting process, he described his experience as constructive, acknowledging that while challenges exist, they can be addressed as the process progresses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe process is going on fine; there can be issues and problems, but one needs to tackle them, and we move along,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on his tenure as finance minister, Sanneh highlighted his efforts to stabilize the economy, manage national debt, and attract international development support. \u201cWe turned the economy around, the foreign exchange was stable, inflation was stabilized somewhere around 6%, I was able to lead my team to the Brussels conference, and we raised 1.4 billion euros for Gambia\u2019s development; if those pledges had come in to this country, we could have turned it into a paradise,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Sanneh also outlined his priorities for youth and women, promising to create opportunities in agriculture, agribusiness, poultry, and rice production.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to invest in ourselves, especially the youth. In my quick impact programs, we can raise 200 million for youth. The women, also, likewise, will do the same,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized plans to modernize agriculture through high-impact technology and innovations aimed at boosting productivity and economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>Sanneh criticized the current government\u2019s economic management, attributing rising prices and currency instability to flawed fiscal policies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou see, the high prices are linked with economic management. Today, the dollar is 73 or more. It has failed the country. It has failed the consumers and the market,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the UDP flagbearer race, Sanneh expressed his respect for the outcome of the process. \u201cYou know, when you look for something, you either get it or you don\u2019t. So you cannot say, I must get it. We believe in the process,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
