They are deliberately mixing us up and creating distrust within society to gain what they want. Gambians should be mindful of such political strategists. Mr. Manneh outlines that the focus of citizens should be on how to improve the \u201cundesirable\u201d conditions in the country.<\/p>\n<p>The People\u2019s Alliance Party\u2019s secretary general adds that the current dispensation has failed in addressing or improving crucial sectors like health, education, youth employment, and other basic needs, adding that these must be the worry of all meaningful Gambians, not tribal consideration, even though politicians keep driving towards that pathetic path.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Manneh encouraged the government to consider prioritising Gambians in crucial economic sectors so that the growth of the country\u2019s economy rests in the hands of its citizens, maintaining that this will yield a rapid and transformative development of The Gambia\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<p>PAP leader accused the government of giving out the fisheries sector to foreigners, maintaining that it is one of the reasons the country\u2019s economic sector is declining.<\/p>\n<p>He further advised Gambian electorates to vote out the Barrow administration, adding that it had failed to address the wishes of citizens.<\/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.
