Development Diaries wants Gambia to hurry up and start its planned Anti-Corruption Commission. This journalism group pushes for better social change across Africa and thinks Gambia needs to take faster action. Justice Minister Dawda Jallow promised money exists to create the ACC before mid-2025, but many feel this timeline drags on far too long. The situation needs quick action instead of more waiting and planning.
The group praised recent steps toward fighting corruption but expressed worry about how slowly things move forward. They believe the government should speed past just setting aside cash and checking potential staff members. Development Diaries noted it feels both hopeful and concerned about the ACC finally taking shape after many holdups. These delays bother citizens who deal with corruption daily and want something done about it.
Minister Jallow tried explaining that careful planning causes the slowdown, not a lack of interest in stopping corruption. He claims the government wants to ensure the ACC can last long-term by giving it proper funding and resources. Despite these reasons, Development Diaries remains upset about how long everything takes when corruption is such a major problem for everyone. The group points out that public anger grows as regular people see corruption harm their everyday lives.
Corruption damages trust between citizens and their government plus slow down progress for the entire country. Development Diaries question whether current efforts go far enough given how much time has already passed. They ask how much longer people must wait before seeing real action against those who misuse public money. Without a working commission, the group worries corrupt practices will keep undermining Gambian institutions and stealing resources meant for national development.
