Gambian lawmakers pushed through a bill that bumps their salaries and pension packages, with Sulayman Jammeh from Bundungka Kunda moving the proposal forward while Biram JS Sowe from Niamina West backed it up. The National Assembly Salaries and Pensions Amendment got sent to the Committee of the Whole Assembly for deeper review, and citizens are already mad about politicians giving themselves raises during an affordability crisis.
Three other bills hit committee referrals during the same session, covering coastal zone management, food security operations, and climate policy. Legislators are supposed to dig into the pay increase details over the coming days, but the timing looks terrible when regular people are getting crushed by living costs.
