EU ambassador Attila LaJos has reacted to the rejection of a bill around the draft constitution branding the decision as ‘premature’.
“It’s a very sobering moment to see that a premature decision was made at the National Assembly not allowing the draft to be further go through the parliamentary scrutiny and eventually put to referendum for the Gambian people to decide,” Mr LaJos told Eye Africa Monday.
The diplomat quickly added: “Happen what happened, this democracy in in practice, the event very much look forward to hearing how the Gambia government as to what is the way forward, how they envisage promoting the ambitious reforms agenda.”
The diplomat speaking on their failed attempt to meet President Barrow said they wanted to meet the president to convey their joint call for MPs to rallying round the draft constitution and pass it.
