Gambia For All has again restated its belief in the establishment of a national COVID-19 fund that would be subsidised through private donations.
The party in a statement said: “We continue to believe in the establishment of a National Solidarity Fund which should collect all donations given in the name of combatting COVID 19 and which will be managed in a transparent and inclusive manner to avoid the abuses we have seen. We expect the NAMs to push for the creation of such a fund and expect them, as a mark of solidarity to be among the first to make personal donations to such a fund.
“Combatting COVID goes beyond Government and National Assembly; it is a national challenge requiring a collective national effort. When the history of the struggle against COVID 19 gets written the role of both the Executive and the Legislature will be scrutinized and any failure on their part will be a serious indictment of the political class of this country at a time when the country needed them most.
“GFA believes things can and should be done differently if we are to win the fight against COVID 19 and its socioeconomic consequences.”
