Mr. Mbye explained that the National Assembly of The Gambia is working to make the legislative process more open, inclusive, and accessible to the public through digital innovation.
He said the planned platform will allow citizens, civil society organisations, and other stakeholders to send their inputs directly to parliamentary committees while laws are being drafted and reviewed.
According to him, this will help move away from limited or irregular consultations and instead create a structured system where public participation is built into the lawmaking process.
Mr. Mbye noted that the reform is part of wider efforts to modernise Parliament, strengthen transparency, and improve communication between lawmakers and the public.
He stressed that the goal is to ensure that citizens are not only informed about laws after they are passed, but are also able to contribute their views while decisions are being made.
The announcement has been received as part of growing discussions among parliamentary leaders on how digital tools can improve governance and make legislative institutions more responsive to the people they represent.
