Donkeys and horses distributed to Gambian farmers were based on efforts by the ministry of agriculture and the national assembly, Amie Fabureh has said.
President Barrow came under heavy criticism recently when farmers were given donkeys. His critics said he took away tractors from the farmers and taunted them by giving them donkeys.
But speaking at Pateh Sam during President Barrow’s meeting there, agriculture minister Amie Fabureh said the president knows nothing about the animals.
“President Barrow knows nothing about these donkeys and horses. The MPs and us at the ministry are who make those donkeys and horses to be realised.
“It’s Gambia government’s money because it was the finance minister who took out the money on the advice of the MPs,” the minister said.
