Commentator Nyang Njie on Tuesday expressed sadness Gambia government functionaries are ignorant of the country’s laws and statutory holidays.
The government displayed ineptitude on Monday amid two conflicting statements over Tuesday’s public holiday.
State House Monday afternoon said Tuesday was not a public holiday but the government spokesperson hours later said it was in fact a public holiday.
Nyang Njie said: “So sad that Government functionaries are ignorant of our laws and statutory holidays. We deserve better. In a nutshell, the downward spiral we have been witnessing is partially due to incompetence.
“Gambians are generally not honest with their competencies. Some public officials are operating over and beyond their pay grades thereby being liabilities to society.”
