As someone who is emerged in the service of humanity, I accept the position understanding that it is not a privilege but service to be rendered to the residents of KM and Gambia at large.”
She prayed for God to grant her “the serenity in the execution of my duties to accept the things I cannot change, to change the things I can, and to know the difference.”
The young activist-politician solicited the continuous support of all stakeholders in highlighting and addressing the issues and challenges of residents of the Municipality and its residents.
