President Barrow praises Justice Minister Dawda Jallow for progress in legal reforms

President Adama Barrow spoke well of his Justice Minister during a speech at the National Assembly on Thursday. He said Dawda Jallow helped bring quick and fair justice to all people living in Gambia. The president praised how the Justice Ministry made great progress during 2024. They worked hard to protect human rights and make sure everyone gets treated fairly under the law.

The government finished writing a new constitution draft last year. Barrow said this major document went before parliament members for review. His team also passed the Victims Reparations Act to help people who suffered abuse in past years. A special group was formed to handle these old human rights problems that happened before.

Gambia fought against people who steal and sell humans for money. The National Agency for Trafficking in Persons runs a phone line that works all day long. They also started the Blue Hearts campaign to stop this terrible crime around the world. Two new groups will begin working this year to help victims and fight corruption.

Courts won many criminal cases during 2024 and helped people who faced violence. The marriage office went digital and people can register weddings online through their computers. Drug police caught many criminals and won 126 cases against people selling illegal substances.
