The President of the Republic, His Excellency Adama Barrow has called on Cabinet Ministers and the entire civil service machinery to forego personal and political interests in favor of the greater good of the people.
The remarks were made during the swearing-in of Dr. Isatou Touray as the Vice President of the Republic, four Cabinet Ministers and four Permanent Secretaries. Three of the new Cabinet Members are women increasing the total number to four.
The President stressed that being a Cabinet Minister or Permanent Secretary goes with expectations that must be fulfilled without any strings attached. Whereas political differences may be acceptable in Cabinet taking into account the nature of the government, the president said it must not be used as a pretext to ‘’corrupt, undermine or divide those of us privileged with Cabinet assignments’’.
Vice President Dr Isatou Touray has said that she has seen the commitment of President Adama Barrow to move The Gambia forward for its people and the future generations.
Dr Touray stated this during a praise-strewn speech on Thursday after being sworn in as the new vice president of The Gambia. “This new democracy under your leadership is a true reflection of the trust, hope and fulfillment of the people’s desire for change. A change that every Gambian is an architect for which you are also fulfilling your promises to the people of The Gambia.
