Mamma Kandeh, leader of Gambia Democratic Congress has called the Inspector General of Police, defense and interior ministers together with the director general of State Intelligent Services to act against what he described as ‘rising crime in the country.’
Mr Kandeh’s call came amid public outcry over a the recent sharp rise in crime rates like murder, rape, stealing, and knife stabling.
He said: “I call on the Ministers of Interior, Defence, Inspector General of Police, and Director of Intelligence. The reason I called on them is that our country has been destroyed. The country has no security.
“No Gambian is free nowadays, there is no secure place. Crime rate is high in Gambia. Killing is high in Gambia. We’re seeing something that has never happened in Gambia. The reason I called out these people and not President Adama Barrow is because I want to take president Adama Barrow out of the picture completely because he has failed,” Mr Kandeh stated.
