However, at a recent National People\u2019s Party (NPP) rally in Sukuta, the same minister reportedly claimed that 180 tractors had been delivered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the reality is clear: only 60 tractors have been delivered so far,\u201d Cham said.<\/p>\n<p>He further accused the minister of routinely providing conflicting information to the public. \u201cSince his appointment, Dr. Ceesay has never given accurate information to the Gambian people. His words change with the audience, not with the facts,\u201d Cham asserted.<\/p>\n<p>He also clarified that the tractors are not being distributed free of charge but rather issued to farmers as loans under what he described as the \u201cso-called farm mechanization program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Questioning the government\u2019s credibility, Cham asked how Gambians could place their trust in leaders who cannot maintain consistency in their messaging. \u201cTruth matters. Accountability matters. The people are watching,\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.
