The chairman of the coalition of civil society organisations John Charles Njie has said the problem of the country transcends beyond the Barrow administration.

Speaking during a meeting of stakeholders over the draft constitution organized by Centre for Research and Policy Development, Njie said: “But who do these politicians think they are to decide for Gambians what is best for us? What Gambians have called for is to have a constitution before us and in a referendum; we will decide whether we want what we want and what we don’t want.

“The problem in our country really is beyond even the Barrow administration. The problem with our country is our parliament. We talk about reforms. There are two bills before our national assembly: access to information law and anti-corruption bill.

“Today the opposition is asking where the president is getting vehicles from when an anti-corruption bill is before you that you could put in place, have a commission in place and begin to ask the questions that you’re asking politically.”
