He said each government plays a role in laying foundations that should be strengthened by those that follow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDevelopment is not one day\u2019s work,\u201d he said. \u201cYou lay the foundation stones, put the country in a better shape, and whoever comes after continues that development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also called for greater political responsibility among leaders, urging them to move beyond personal or party interests and focus on the broader needs of the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to rise above self-interest and look at the country,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople are really yearning for change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Sanneh further emphasized the importance of accountability, calling on citizens to scrutinize government actions and spending, particularly in relation to infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs citizens, we should question what is happening,\u201d he said. \u201cThey are campaigning that roads have been built, but at what cost?
