Although the project is not fully completed or formally handed over, he said traffic is already flowing. \u201cVehicles are now operational, traffic is ongoing,\u201d he noted, adding that the road remains \u201cnot 100 percent ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lawmaker said his longer-term goal is to ensure that every household within 75 meters of NAWEC\u2019s distribution lines has access to running water, eliminating the need for residents to walk long distances. \u201cMy vision is that no one walks 150 to 200 meters for water. We\u2019ve minimized that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>With the 2026 elections approaching, the collaboration between President Barrow and Mr. Jammeh is drawing attention in Bundung, where water scarcity has been a persistent political issue. Mr. Jammeh emphasized that local involvement, not only government action, has driven the recent progress. \u201cWe didn\u2019t leave the water issue to the government alone. Community efforts made this happen,\u201d he said.<\/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.
