He said President Adama Barrow was delivering on his mandate to transform the country, not only through infrastructure projects such as roads, electricity, water supply, schools and healthcare, but also through governance reforms. Among these is the creation of a special ministry to oversee Public Service, Administrative Reform and Delivery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reforms in the media, legal system, and public finance have ensured transparency and accountability,\u201d Dr. Ceesay said. \u201cWe introduced legislation such as the Anti-Corruption Act and the Access to Information Law, and established the Anti-Corruption Commission, all in line with the constitution\u2019s fundamental rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that digitalization reforms are crucial for improved revenue mobilization and public finance management, reducing misuse of public funds.
