The head of the anti-littering unit at Kanifing Municipal Council Landing Camara has said The Gambia is among the dirtiest countries in the world.
Mr Camara made this statement earlier this week as Global Youth Parliament KMC Chapter begun their Heroes Challenges Initiative along the streets of Kairaba Avenue. The project is aimed at keeping the environment clean but also ensuring the full implementation of anti-littering laws in Kanifing Municipality.
Mr Camara said of Gambia: “I wish to inform everyone that Gambia, we are among the dirtiest countries in the world. I‘m sorry to say because I’m a Gambian but this is the truth.
“You go to Darkar… Just Dakar alone is a population of over eight million and then compare the vast area the people of Senegal clean that can almost consumed the entire Gambia.
“In Dakar you hardly see a person throw litter but in the Gambia people do indiscriminate dumping, you will even see a person dig a hole in some streets for dirty water passage which is not in line with health and even religion.”
