The Gambia's Minister of Public Service, Baboucarr Bouy, announced a collaboration with the Ministry of Communication and Digital Economy and support from Bangladesh to digitize a government portal for improved public service delivery. The digitization process aims to simplify access to national identification cards, passports, driver’s licenses, birth certificates, and business registration. The Minister also revealed plans for an internal audit on all ministries, except Basic and Secondary Education, Health, and Agriculture, to control the country's wage bill.
The managing director of GPPC, Momodou Ceesay, denies allegations of financial mismanagement and claims that the institution has been regularly audited, with the 2021 and 2022 audits already completed and the 2023 audit underway. He also refuted claims that the D50 million bioclimatic exercise book printing machine was overpriced and not functioning, stating that it underwent proper procurement procedures and is currently in use.
