| This way of informing the Gambia population at all levels is a good idea even in remote places it is likely that someone will have a radio,however "the content of the 20 Chapters of the Draft Constitution" is likely to be written in legalese, (I may be wrong !),which is a language only understood by lawyers and maybe academics,the average Gambian will be totally lost ,it is up to the media to ensure that the population is properly aware of the importance and content of the document. |
