According to him, authorities have previously warned residents about the quality of tap water in the area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNAWEC and the Ministry of Health have advised against drinking tap water in Bakau because it is not safe,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He further noted that many citizens cannot afford alternatives such as bottled water, making the situation particularly difficult for low-income households.\u201cHow many people can afford bottled water? These are the issues we need to focus on as a country,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the debate surrounding President Barrow\u2019s potential third-term bid, Bojang argued that term limits should be viewed not only from a legal standpoint but also as a matter of principle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe issue of term limits is not just legal; it is also a moral issue,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>He cautioned against using development initiatives, particularly infrastructure projects like road construction, as justification for extending a leader\u2019s time in office.<\/p>\n<p>Bojang also called on young people to play a more active role in shaping the country\u2019s future and holding leaders accountable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur generation as young Gambians must take responsibility for our future and put checks in place,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He concluded by expressing broader dissatisfaction with governance in the country, asserting that successive administrations have failed to meet public expectations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think President Barrow and the NPP are taking us for a ride, and until we are ready to stand firm and defend our rights as a people, they will continue to do so. Every government we have had in this country has taken us for a ride, unfortunately,\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.
