On day four of the ongoing Meet the People Tour, President Adama Barrow held meetings in Tumana and Kantora constituencies and Basse and Jimara constituencies, in Chamoi and Mankamang Kunda, respectively.

Speakers took turns to hail the President for the development projects in their communities. However, they still pleaded with the President to increase access to electricity, build more roads and continue to prioritise agriculture.

Addressing the concerns raised in Chamoi, President Barrow said his second term is a vote of confidence and that he is determined more than ever improve access to health, education, electricity, and infrastructure. He added that more than 20 other communities would soon have access to electricity in Kantora and Tumani. He reechoed his government's commitment to ensuring that every community in The Gambia has access to electricity by 2025.

While highlighting the commitment his government attaches to agriculture, the Head of State referenced the high cost of living as a global problem and thus urged the people to go back to the farm to 'eat what you grow'. He said the government had distributed seeds and fertilizer to help farmers in the last farming season, adding that the increase in the price for a ton of groundnut is a testament to his commitment.

Additionally, the President presented a cheque of over D4 Million as part of the Women Enterprise Fund to distribute to 50 women groups in URR. At his home in Mankamang Kunda, President Barrow reminisced on his childhood memories, stating he is a proud son of Jimara. It was the first time since becoming President to hold a meeting at his home village, and he used the opportunity to call on the youth to work hard as the country's future lies in their hands.

President Barrow stated that his government would continue to deliver development to the doorstep of every Gambian. He also announced the construction of several roads in the Jimara and Basse constituencies that would improve the socioeconomic conditions of the people.
