President Adama Barrow has appointed Justice Minister Abubacarr Tambadou as the chair of the steering committee on the security sector reform in The Gambia.
Confirming the development to journalists at a press conference in Banjul on Tuesday, Mr Tambadou said his role will be to provide strategic leadership to this reform process and to help accelerate it.
“As you all know the aim of the security sector reform is to get a security service in The Gambia that reflects the current geographic, political, social and economic realities of our country and in response to its needs as a modern democratic state,” he said.
The Security Sector Reform project is an initiative by the Barrow administration to transform the country’s security sector into institutions that are effective, professional and accountable to the state and the people of The Gambia.
