The National Council for Civic Education ran a town hall meeting in Farafenni with backing from UNDP and EU cash to explain two fresh laws to locals. Senior Programme Officer Mamadou A.H. Bah broke down the Anti-Corruption Act from 2023, which targets bribery and dodgy use of public money, plus the Criminal Offences Act that ditched old colonial rules and updated crime definitions to match human rights standards. Ward Councillor Malick Samba and other community leaders said the session helps citizens guard resources better.
The forum pulled in local authorities and civil society people to talk about accountability under the law. Chief Samba Jallow and tribunal member Bakary Jammeh mentioned the training could cut down criminal activity and get more people involved in governance. Attendees pushed for better handling of public funds and urged parents to teach kids discipline and respect for rights.
