Mai Ahmed Fatty, leader of Gambia Moral Congress, has expressed concern over growing insecurity describing security the foundation of stability.
“I am extremely concerned about a growing cascade of degenerative circumstances in our country. I am talking about not just conventional security; also, the insecurity posed by the continuing invasion of narcotics and other dangerous drugs into our country, at alarming proportions with rapidity.
“Security is the foundation of stability, the building block for peace and the engine of ingenuity. Ingenuity is the basis of human progress which provides an avenue for development and prosperity. Escalating insecurity at all levels, potentially threatens our collective existence as a viable nation,” he wrote on his Facebook.
Insecurity is blind to partisan politics, and that’s why it is not just law enforcement agencies but demands decisive response from all and sundry, he said.
Meanwhile, he added: “Institutional indifference and/or incompetence flourishes with unrestrained velocity. Institutions don’t operate themselves; they are manned by Gambians. It’s not simply about leadership deficit; it’s more to do with general attitude towards collective wellbeing: patriotic deficiency, greed and avarice.”
He said that: “People entrusted with authority at various state Institutions, willfully betray public trust without consequences, while our society continues to glorify rustic leadership at different levels, based on myopic considerations. To restore the balance, we must restore morality into politics, and accord it prominence at the heart of the political discourse. Quantum politics is what we require at this challenging time.
