In
line with the directive from the Office of the President regarding the Gambia
Government’s efforts to contain the Covid-19 crisis in the country, the TRRC
has suspended its public hearings and all outreach activities with effect from
Wednesday, March 18, 2020. As the end of this three-week suspension will
coincide with the beginning of the Commission’s Ramadan break, public hearings
will not resume until after the end of the month of Ramadan, around the first
week of June. Outreach activities may resume when considered safe to do so.
The
Commission’s Secretariat will also be partially closed. Staff may choose to
come to the offices but are highly encouraged to work from home for the
three-week period. Depending on how things turn out at the end of the three
weeks, the Secretariat may resume full operations or remain partially closed
except for essential business for as long as considered necessary.
The
TRRC encourages all members of the public to please take all cautionary
measures to avoid infection. May God bless and protect The Gambia and all
Gambians and their families and loved ones everywhere.
Meanwhile
all court cases have all been suspended until furter notice.
