President Adama Barrow has announced he will give cash handouts and rice to Gambians.
While laying the foundation stone for the trans-gambia highway on Thursday, the president said he will give Gambians D3,000 each.
“I want to tell Seyfo Jarjusey the support I gave Gambians previously, he should know that my minister of finance is here. I have approved 250 million dalasis. I will buy rice again and give the entire Gambia rice again,” the president said in Kerr Ali.
He added: “Also, I want to tell him the D3,000 we gave to people, that’s the first round. [The] second round, I will give everyone D3,000.”
The government has been busy distributing money to Gambians following a 31 million dollars support from the World Bank.
