By Staff Reporter Bakary Gibba, Banjul

Continuing his new television program dubbed  “ Gambia in motion” Gambia’s President Yahya Jammeh called on all Gambians irrespective of political affiliation to help build a better and prosperous nation. Mr. Jammeh cautions that his much talked about Silicon Valley—which is aimed among other things transforming the impoverished West African country into a modern state, would not be realized without the collective  participation of the country’s citizenry. The Gambian leader therefore implored on Gambians to put all hands on deck to ensure that such a vision is achievable, as envisaged in the Government’s development programs.

Mr. Jammeh observed that a developed,  and prosperous Gambia would pave a better living conditions for the nations unborn generation. He says it should be the business of every Gambian to help develop the nation. This he says, would lay a good foundation for the upcoming generation—who he in his own words would be entrusted with the country’s mantle of leadership.

"Left with me alone, I would provide all the necessary resources for Gambians, in order for our motherland to develop,” Jammeh said in an interview.

Commenting on the country’s health, education, agriculture, environment,  economic  sectors, Jammeh said The Gambia under his leadership has registered numerous developments over the years. He credited such developments to his leadership direction.

"My government would try by all means to intervene in all the key sectors of development by providing quality and relevant service delivery system to the people of this nation,” Jammeh said.

Jammeh adds that  the promotion of good health system and the empowerment of  youth would continue to dominate his administration’s developmental programs. He however implored on youth to engage in positive living and avoid behaviors that might impact negatively on their lives. Mr. Jammeh also called on Civil Servants to live up to expectations. He said he expects Civil Servants to deliver the goods, since their monthly salaries come from taxpayers.
