If you want to have the benefits the NPP is providing you have to get a membership card especially for the women. We have promised to open a women enterprise fund under the NPP to give loans to women groups without any interests charged. We are going to do the launching soon but you cannot get that fund if you don\u2019t have a membership card of the NPP because we cannot determine whether you are a member or not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>President Barrow further stated that there are several other benefits associated with having the party\u2019s membership card as it will enable even sick members of the party to get help with medical support and Ramadan gifts. \u201cWe want this party to be a party of difference. We want to transform the party into an institution that will continue to lead Gambia for many decades to come.
