The interim leader of APRC Fabakary Tombong Jatta has accused President Adama Barrow of playing propaganda with regard to projects started and mostly paid for by the APRC government.

President Barrow last week inaugurated the Senegambia Bridge at a historic event in Farafenni, a leap that has drawn him admiration.

Jatta reacting to the inauguration of the structure in an interview with West Coast Radio said the bridge, like many others were conceived, signed, awarded and paid for by former president Yahya Jammeh’s administration.

Jatta said: “Remember as I said government couldn’t even thank former president Yahya Jammeh and the APRC for the trans-Gambia bridge because it started in 2014.The Laminkoto Passamas road was funded by five loan agreements we ratified. The contractors were identified by the APRC works started with the APRC when all the funds were available.

“We would agree that it may complete during their time or during their time work still ongoing but they cannot take the credit. That is what happened with the ferry, Sukuta Jambajelly road. These were road that we funded.”
