The leader of Gambia For All has linked The Gambia’s ‘deploration’ situation to corruption vowing a GFA government would put an end to scourge.
Speaking at a news conference in Fajara on Wednesday, Bakary Bunja Darbo insisted Gambia For All is “setting out with awareness that the deplorable situation we now have has been brought about to a large extend by corruption.”
The former vice president said: “We know therefore that there is no way we can make an impact without finding a way to tackling it [corruption].
“But I think most fundamentally, this is one area where example the top [leadership] matters most. Good example has to be set by the top leadership for good governance and clean government. This what Gambia For All will stand for.”
According to him, a GFA government would put in place effective processes and practices to ensure corruption as a problem is kept within a manageable bound.
He said tackling corruption calls for lots of measures and part of his government’s efforts to fighting corruption would be the law by improving legislation and leaning on the judiciary to come up with stiffer sentences.
