The community of Janjangbureh, led by their National Assembly member, Hon Foday Manka, expressed gratitude and appreciation to President Jammeh for the decision taken by his government to construct a bridge at the Sankulay Kunda River ferry crossing point and the donation of a tractor to the community.
In an interview with the Daily Observer, Hon Manka said this development will not only salvage the insular community from socio-economic decline and isolation, but will also address the underdeveloped rural infrastructure APRC government inherited from the first republic. He noted that the strategic location of Sankulay Kunda Bridge will undoubtedly facilitate communication between all the administrative regions in the country.
The district chief, Bakary Jam Jawo, commended President Jammeh for giving a tractor to the people of Janjangbureh.
He said the donation of this tractor has significantly boosted rice production in the district. Seyfo Jawo further highlighted the important role President Jammeh plays in providing agricultural inputs to the people of The Gambia.
Other speakers were Mariama Manneh, councillor, and Ebrima Janko Foon, the ward councillor, both of whom expressed similar sentiments.
