MP for Niamina East has said the people of Niamina East are discriminated under Barrow’s administration, vowing to keep demanding the ‘development’ and ‘aspirations’ of his people.
In a statement said with The Fatu Network, the MP blasted: “The people of Niamina East constituency are unfairly treated under Barrow’s administration despite the taxes they are paying to the government.
“It’s disheartening to realise that president Barrow is denying development needs to certain geographical areas or group of individuals including the Niamina East constituency.
“Under Barrow’s administration, the one and only project established in Niamina East since 2016 is a pipe borne water facility in a village called Kerewan Demba which does not have the capacity to serve the community 24 hours.
“It’s a baseless argument to say that Niamina East constituency are supporting the opposition political party GDC which is denying them development earmarked from the government.
“Whether or not the electorate of Niamina East voted for president Barrow or the opposition, the people of this nation fought in 2016 to reconcile and equitably distribute the state resources and the people of Niamina East are not an exception.
“The people of Niamina East are still battling with the same challenges: lack of basic amenities, water supply, road networks, skill centres, accessible and affordable health care facilities;among others.
“I will keep on demanding the development needs and aspirations of my electorate, it does not matter for how long the government will keep ignoring my messages.
“I am therefore calling on the government and development partners to come to the aid of the said Constituency.”
