Celestine Kujabi, the Secretary General of Coalition of Progressive Gambians (COPG) has said that the country is facing rampant and indiscriminate corruption. 


He said the high rate of institutional corruption, and those running the said corrupt institutions have shown no remorse for corruption.




“It's very sad for a population that prides itself in strong religious beliefs with good ethics to register such a high rate in rampant and indiscriminate corruption. Unfortunately our institutions are also occupied and managed by a human resource who has no sense of remorse for corruption.” he said.




In a telephone interview with this medium on Monday, he further stated that the government of President Adama Barrow is not sensitive to the adverse effects of corruption in the country. He added that the changes made in the Anti-Corruption Commission manifested the government's lack of commitment to fight corruption.




“If we have a government which is not sensitive to the adverse effects of corruption in the progress and development of the country then we're doomed. We have seen the recent changes made in the Anti-Corruption Commission manifesting the lack of genuine commitment to fight corruption.” he argued.




He added: “If we want to reduce corruption we need to provide strict, firm and consistent laws against corruption otherwise we are nowhere near to reduce corruption especially with a government that's not committed to implementation. The lack of implementation of The TRRC, The Janneh Commission, Audit Report recommendations are evident that this government is compliant with corruption. They just don't care. If the leadership is found wanting it's going to be difficult for it to apply the rules.” he concluded.
