‘It’s sad to say…’: Musician Gee frowns at Darboe’s tree planting comment

Musician Gee has taken aim at the nation’s political leaders after comments by UDP leader Darboe for tree planting after Wednesday night’s windstorm.

UDP leader in a tweet on Thursday said his party is committed to its founders day declaration of planting a tree for each Gambian.

“We must commit to tackling climate change and making sure sustainable solutions are in place,” Mr Darboe said in his tweet.

But Gee while sharing Darboe’s tweet wrote: “Instead of going all out to make sure the families of those that lost their homes are in proper shelter, clothing, eating, etc, we’re being educated and being asked to plant a tree. It’s sad to say but a GoFundMe works quicker/better than our government/political parties.”
