A Gambian political movement has pledged to slash government spending on official vehicles if it gains power.
The Change Front party released a new policy targeting the presidency and executive branch. It claims the current government spends excessive amounts on cars for top officials.
This spending happens while many public institutions lack enough vehicles to perform basic duties, the group stated.
The policy announcement frames the issue as a choice between luxury for leaders and essential tools for public services.
