Honorable Mama Kandeh, leader of Gambia Democratic Congress, has urged registered Gambians to reject any voter card buyer and expose such person or group because both the seller and buyer are ‘criminals.’
Speaking at a rally in Ndungu-Kebbeh and Kissima Jaw, Honorable Kandeh said: “Those politicians going about attracting voters with money are not using their own money but resources of the State. They are using our money to entice people to give them another mandate.”
“Now, it is left to Gambian to differentiate those who are working for the interest of the nation from those who came to enrich themselves from the state resource because the December 4 election is crucial as it will decide if Gambians want a change or stay in the current bad state of affairs. So, do not sell your voter card because both the seller and the buyer are criminals,” he echoed.
Honorable Kandeh said the wishes of people when they voted in 2016 for their government were to provide the services that would lift them from poverty. Adding that, since President Barrow took over, farmers have been selling their groundnuts at the Lumos, and that alone is enough to teach Gambians about Barrow.
“GDC has a track record of providing for the people well before and that experience will continue if the party is voted into office, a GDC government would not lie, induce or make empty promises. We would serve the interest of all and not a few individuals,” he said.
He as well accused a National Assembly member of spreading lies that Barrow had offered him a position in his government but he (Kandeh) refused.
He said: “the same National Assembly member said I gave conditions to President Barrow that if he wants to work with me, he has to sack all his Ministers. This is a flat lie and I condemn it and urge him to desist from it because I hate tribalism.”
