Lawmakers can now vet any appointment by president

The National Assembly Member for Lower Badibou, Hon. Alagie Jawara has pointed out that deputies have all right to vet any person to be appointed by President Adama Barrow.
In an interview with The Point, Hon. Jawara said that the National Assembly of The Gambia has come up with a committee called ‘Public Appointment Committee’ which should be vetting anybody the president wish to appoint.
The committee, he said, would ensure that a person is capable and fit to do the job before his/her appointment to that position.
He therefore hailed the speaker of the National Assembly Hon. Mariama Jack-Denton for coming up with the idea.
Hon. Jawara further said that this committee would also try to establish the qualifications, competence, capability and ability of any individual who is about to be appointed by the president. He added that the aim is to help the government to avert appointments based on friendship or relationship but ability and qualification.
“This committee will be very important to any individual who wants to manage a public office so that they will not be making many mistakes,” he said, while urging qualified Gambians to apply and contribute their quota to national development.
