Health Minister Dr Ahmadou Lamin Samateh has dismissed claims of rampant corruption in The Gambia, insisting that the Barrow administration has delivered more development than any previous government.
Speaking in an interview with West Coast Radio, Dr Samateh rejected recent allegations of widespread graft, particularly within the health sector.
“I don’t think there is rampant corruption,” he said.
“If there were rampant corruption in the Ministry of Health or in this country, we wouldn’t have been able to do the development that we are doing now. We are doing more development now than the former regime — a lot more.”
The minister said the government has strengthened accountability mechanisms by empowering auditors to scrutinise public accounts and recommend action against corruption.
