Lamin R Darboe dies: President Barrow says it’s a sad day for him as he joins Gambians in mourning CRR deputy governor’s passing

CRR deputy governor Lamin R Darboe and a staunch ally of President Adama Barrow has died. He died on Tuesday in Janjanbureh.

State House in a statement said President Barrow remarked that ‘it is a sad day for me’ as he reacted to Mr Darboe’s death.

“The demise of ‘R. Darboe’ as he is fondly called by his closed associates, is a great loss to his family as well as the entire Nation. He would be remembered for his political engagement to advance democracy in the country.

“He worked hard in serving humanity, to leave a legacy in his community and the nation at large. In recent years he took up an administrative role as Deputy Governor to nurture the democratic change and support the reform processes,” State House said.
