The vice president and minister of Women’s Affairs Tuesday told deputies at
the National Assembly that electrification of rural settlements is a
priority of the government of The Gambia.

Her Excellency Ajaratou Dr. Isatou Njie-Saidy was responding to a question
by Hon. Pa Jallow, National Assembly member (NAM) for Jarra Central     as
to how soon electricity supply will be extended to Jarra Central and East.
The VP told the deputies that the rural electricity extension project, which
is a continuation of the initial phase is already on course and is to cover
all the rural regions.

She said a contractor for the extension of the works shall soon be engaged,
noting that the government is continuously looking for funds for expansion
to cover additional settlements and Jarras are equally considered in this.
She added: “However, priority is given to settlements to be electrified at
any given time based on economic and financial viability as well as
technical feasibility.”
