The Constitutional Review Commission announced Thursday the draft constitution has been finalised and will be submitted to President Adama Barrow on Monday 30 March.
“This follows a series of consultations with Gambians at home and abroad as to how they wish to be governed in the new Draft Constitution. It could be recalled that, the CRC made a promise to Gambians at a press conference held on Monday 27th January, 2020 that it will submit the final Draft Constitution to the President not later than March, 2020.
“It is gratifying to note that a lot of effort was invested by Gambians from all walks of life to ensure that the Commission produces a Constitution that will stand the test of time and become a model for not only the African continent but the World at large,” the commission said in a statement on Thursday.
A new constitution has been a major preoccupation of President Barrow’s government since it came to power in 2017.
