The party in a press release states that the torrential rain had destroyed people's properties and forced them to live in a much worse condition.
“Last year we witnessed serious floods which we could have avoided with the right plans to reduce the expected damages of this year's rain.”
“The Upper River Region has just recorded its first rain and we have seen the struggle our people are confronted with.”
According to the party, this should serve as a wake up call to both the Local Government Councils and Central government to jointly work together to avert future damages.
It was forecast that The Gambia will record its first rain in the early month of June and the party further said that this should have been guided with actions from both the Central and Local Government to minimise the damage caused.
The party went on to call on Councils and President Barrow to come out now and do the needful. “We cannot be seated until our people are hit again to come out from our comfort zone, when we could have done something over the years to prevent our people from the same struggle year round. It is time now to act in the best interest of the people.”
