The distribution team ended-up their exercise at the Kanifing Municipal and Banjul City Councils respectively where they presented the audio-visual (translated and recorded) format of the content of the 20 Chapters of the Draft Constitution into eight local languages.
The Draft Constitution is been translated into the following languages: Mandinka, Fula, Wollof, Jola, Manjago, Serere, Sarahule, Aku and Gambian Sign Language for the hard-of-hearing. There is also a Braille version of the Draft Constitution for the visually impaired.
The recipients of the audio-visual country-wide all hailed the promise fulfilled by the CRC to record the Draft Constitution into local languages.
