The
new Gambia is highly sensitive to the rights of citizen but drug-induced
criminal activities like armed robbery, rape and theft would not be condoned,
the minister of the Interior has said.
Mai
Fatty said the Ministry of the Interior is alert and has successfully seized
large amount of drugs in the first quarter of 2017.
“Combating
drugs is one of the most difficult jobs one can embark on as the number of drug
users and traffickers is on the increase and this has put drug enforcers on the
watch at all times,” he said.
“The
discovery and interdiction of these huge quantities of drugs is evident of the
determined efforts of DLEAG in fulfilling its mandate as enshrined in the Drug
Control Act, 2003.”
The
minister said all the drugs being burnt had been seized and kept under the
watchful eye of the narcotic courts.
“This
government through the Ministry of the Interior will make sure The Gambia
becomes a nation free from drug trafficking,” Mr Fatty said.
