AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

FGM Legal Showdown: The Gambia Supreme Court is set to hear a case that could uphold or weaken the 2015 ban on female genital mutilation, with survivors saying the ruling will decide whether girls continue to suffer in silence. Domestic Violence Conviction: The Banjul High Court sentenced Yugo Sowe to life imprisonment over a 2023 cutlass attack on his wife, finding attempted murder, grievous harm, wounding and domestic violence charges proven; the victim remains wheelchair-bound. Health Costs & Access: Health Minister Dr. Ahmadou Lamin Samateh defended recent increases in service charges, saying healthcare remains heavily subsidised and that shortages and costs are driven by limited resources and reliance on imported supplies. Utility Crisis Protest: Gambians Against Looted Assets (GALA) staged protests over recurring electricity outages and water shortages, issuing a 10-day ultimatum to NAWEC and calling for accountability. Public Service Reform: The Gambia says it wants to adopt parts of Nigeria’s civil service transformation model to improve public service delivery. Malaria & Mosquito Science: Insect Week coverage highlights how mosquitoes—especially Anopheles gambiae—drive malaria transmission and why adaptation is making control harder.
