The United Democratic Party on Friday launched its National Free Mask for All Initiative with party leader Ousainou Darboe insisting Gambians now need to adhere to guidance put in place by the World Health Organisation.
“At out level as a political party, we recognise the need to stand by all Gambians and non-Gambians residing in our country and more importantly, extend moral and financial assistance to all citizens and families during moments of need,” Mr Darboe said at his office in Pipeline while launching the initiative.
He added: “Through this initiative, the United Democratic Party aims to donate face masks to Gambians in all regions across the country to avail everybody face masks. The distribution of the face masks which will be done through the Party’s National Youth Wing Structure, will kick start in the first week of August 2020.”
