Justice minister Dawda Jallow has said he agrees government would be breaking the regulation around public gathering if it is organised in contravention of the ministry of health’s regulation against such act.
President Adama Barrow has in past days been holding meetings to as far as in URR being attended by large crowds. There is often no social distancing and most people are seen not wearing face mask, which is criminal under the present law around face mask.
On The For The People By The People Show on Sunday, the justice minister Dawda Jallow said ‘agreed, yes’ when Pasamba Jow asked him if would it be “fair to say that your government is flouting the very rules, the very regulation that it put in place by organising all these meetings that you’ve seen over time, where you have crowds [and] there’s no social distancing, no mask wearing and you’re going around telling people not to go to Maagal”.
“If the gatherings are organised in contravention of the regulation, of course yes,” Justice Minister Jallow said.
