President Adama Barrow on Saturday launched the electricity expansion project of Kiang saying it was confirmation of his government’s sincerity to its promise of change.
“This historic event, held in the heart of Kiang, is to inaugurate another significant project that targets underserved communities in the country. It is a confirmation of my government’s sincerity to its promise of change, and its devotion to developing the entire Gambian nation through the National Development Plan (NDP) we developed together,” the president said at the inauguration event held in Kiang Kwinella.
The people of Kiang and beyond turned out to witness the ceremony which has now paved the way for Kiang to join other regions of the country in enjoying electricity.
According to the president, the occasion is “one of a series of similar events signifying that, without doubt, my Government rejects discrimination, and it is a government for all Gambians, all regions, all districts and all communities”.
“In consequence, we will continue to reach out to all marginalised and disadvantaged communities as we progress with our development endeavour. We have one common interest that envelopes the whole nation as a united and prosperous family, bound by a common destiny,” the president said.
