That kind of thinking is limited,\u201d he said. \u201cEvery Gambian pays taxes, and every Gambian deserves development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He recalled that some individuals had tried to dissuade him from building a hospital in Salikenni because of the area\u2019s perceived opposition stance. \u201cI told them I am elected by Gambians, and Salikenni is part of The Gambia,\u201d the president said. \u201cIt is their right to development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Without naming anyone, Mr. Barrow also criticized a National Assembly member whom he accused of discouraging residents from attending the meeting. He described such behavior as \u201cignorance,\u201d saying his tour was not political but aimed at hearing citizens\u2019 concerns and identifying solutions.<\/p>\n<p>The president pointed to infrastructure projects his administration has completed in the area, including the construction of a hospital and roads. \u201cLet the National Assembly member show what he has done like this,\u201d Mr. Barrow challenged.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Barrow\u2019s remarks come amid a politically charged atmosphere as he continues his tour across the country, addressing communities and promoting his government\u2019s development agenda.<\/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.
