The
executive committee of UDP in Busumbala has signalled that it may take action
against National Assembly Member (NAM) of the Busumbala Constituency, Hon.
Saikoubah Jarju, if he refuses to meet their demands.
The
committee through its Chairman Kemo Ceesay, said that Hon. Jarju should consult
the right political and developmental structures of his constituency before National
Assembly sittings and give feedbacks to members of the constituency through
those established structures after discussions in Parliament.
“Hon.
Jarju should apologise to the leadership of UDP for going against the recent
decision of the party national executive committee and recommit himself to
programmes and activities of Busumbala Constituency in promoting and developing
the political agenda of UDP amongst others.”
Chairman
Ceesay was speaking during a press conference at Busmbala yesterday, following the statement
of UDP leader, Ousainou Darboe, urging President Barrow to honour Coalition
Agreement by serving a three-year transition mandate. He accused Hon. Jarju of
pursuing personal agenda at the parliament contrary to that of the UDP and the
Busumbala Constituency, by voting for unnecessary supplementary appropriate
bills and suspected bad policies that might not be in the interest of Busumbala
Constituency and the entire Gambia.
He
also accused the Hon. Jarju of refusing to recognise his current constituency
executive.
