>>  *The president of the Republic has donated D0.5M to Cabinet as a
>> kick-start for the establishment of a Credit Union for ministers, at a
>> presentation ceremony on Monday at the Cabinet Room in State House.*
>> Presenting a Trust Bank Savings Account book to Aja Dr Isatou Njie-Saidy,
>> the vice president and minister of Women’s Affairs, His Excellency Sheikh
>> Professor Alhaji Dr Yahya Jammeh advised the ministers to make the mostof
>> the initiative, saying it is a fulfillment of a pledge he made a few days
>> ago.
>> “It is inline with my pledge to make sure that the Cabinet also has a
>> credit union just like any other institution, I hereby present to the
>> Cabinet through you, the [vice president], this Savings Account book with a
>> sum of five hundred thousand dalasi to kick-start operating a Cabinet
>> Credit Union,” he told them. He also urged the ministers to work with
>> the vice president and put up a mechanismof contributing monthly to the
>> union’s account.
>> President Jammeh added: “The idea of a credit union is a wonderful one;
>> however for any credit union to survive, when you borrow, you must carry
>> forward and pay. If you borrow without paying, the credit union will be
>> dead. Sometimes in Cabinet, you have unexpected occurrence where we need to
>> put funds together, assist one person or the other. Because of the lack of
>> such a fund, sometimes it is difficult for members to contribute
>> meaningfully. I think with this fund, you will be able to take care of any
>> eventualities comfortably without any hardship.”
>> *Membership*
>> The Gambian leader stressed that membership of the union is for all
>> ministers whether they are in Cabinet or not. He said in the event that a
>> minister is no more in cabinet and owes the union, his or her money will be
>> deducted from what he/she contributed and the balance will be given back to
>> him/her.
>> He added: “We are not taking anybody’s money. It is a credit union, if
>> you leave whatever is not used, your balance will be given back to you and
>> still you can be a member of the union because once a member you are always
>> a member, whether you are out of Cabinet or not because we are not supposed
>> to friends when you are here and enemies when you leave unless you have
>> other motives. In the event that you leave, the choice is yours. If you
>> want, you take your balance, if you want, you leave it and continue being
>> part of it.”
>> Speaking earlier, the Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Lamin
>> Jobarteh, said they [Cabinet] are very happy and appreciative ofthe
>> president’s gesture. His words: “You are one unique president who cares
>> for the welfare of not only your Cabinet but the entire populace of The
>> Gambia. We pray for your long life, success and we further pray that God
>> help you in reaching the apex of all the things that you desire for the
>> welfare and advancement of the beautiful Gambia.”
>> The vice president and minister of Women’s Affairs, Aja Dr Isatou
>> Njie-Saidy, joined other speakers to thank the Gambian leader on behalf of
>> the Cabinet for spearheading the move. “We are grateful once again to you
>> for your continuous generosity. We as a Cabinet and as a nation are proud
>> of you for your benevolence and for caring and sharing,” she stated.
>> She assured President Jammeh that they would not fail him and he will see
>> the result from this particular initiative. “We promised you that we will
>> continue to follow your leadership by example in not just farming but in
>> other spheres of development,” VP Njie-Saidy added.
>> The minister for Energy, Teneng-Mba Jaiteh, also spoke at the ceremony
>> moderated by Mariama Njie, the deputy secretary to Cabinet.
