Gambia’s President Adama Barrow has reminded the newly appointed ministers and other civil servants in his government that together, they can make the Gambia the envy of many countries.
According to him, this can be attained by committing themselves to serve national interest in their engagements.

“Individually, we can change our attitude towards work and take positive steps to making a difference in our institution. Together, we can make the Gambia envy for many countries by committing ourselves to serve our national interest in our engagements. Our individual interests are embedded in the national interest” he said.
He reminded them that his government pledged to engage in institutional and legal reforms, thus, need politicians and technicians to make it possible.
