The ongoing power outages have been devastating for Gambians across the country, including the traders at Tippa Garage whom we visited today. Large quantities of perishable goods have spoiled, resulting in significant financial losses for hardworking businesses already struggling to stay afloat.

For many traders, this is not just about lost products. It is about lost income, disrupted livelihoods, and growing uncertainty about how they will provide for their families. No serious nation can continue on this path. Reliable electricity is not a luxury. It is a basic requirement for economic growth, job creation, and national development. The time for excuses has long passed. Gambians deserve solutions, accountability, and an energy system that works.

Did you know that the PPP government gave The Gambia the Independence Stadium?

Since then, neither the APRC nor the NPP government has built a new national stadium. Even more telling, they have struggled to properly manage and maintain the very stadium they inherited from the PPP.

Instead of delivering a new stadium, successive governments have spent years trying to rehabilitate an existing facility that deteriorated under their watch and eventually fell below international standards.

The facts are simple: the PPP built it; others have failed to preserve it.

If building a stadium is an achievement, then maintaining it should be the minimum expectation. Yet after decades in power, both the APRC and NPP have little to show beyond repairing what the PPP left behind.

The record speaks for itself.

Introducing the Progressive “P9” Agenda

The Progressive “P9” Agenda is the People’s Progressive Party’s bold roadmap for building a stronger, self-reliant, and prosperous Gambia. Rooted in the values of progress, opportunity, and good governance, the P9 Agenda focuses on nine key priorities that will transform our nation: Agriculture and Food Security, Education, Infrastructure, Economic Independence, Healthcare, Good Governance, Clean Energy, Youth and Women Empowerment, and Global Positioning.

The P9 Agenda is more than a policy framework—it is a commitment to creating jobs, improving livelihoods, empowering citizens, and ensuring sustainable development for present and future generations. Together, we can build a Gambia that is productive, innovative, inclusive, and respected on the global stage.

LACK OF ELECTRICAL POWER MEANS LOSS OF POLITICAL POWER.

Electrical power is national power, and national power must serve the people.

Statement from Presidential Candidate Saikou Sawo - the man with the Solution. Vote wisely!!!

The latest statement from NAWEC is not reassuring. It is alarming. Gambians are once again being told to prepare for weeks of darkness, uncertainty, and economic hardship. The admission that power outages will continue through mid-June is not merely a technical update. It is an acknowledgment of a deeper systemic failure.

The question every Gambian should ask is simple: What have decades of investment actually achieved? A serious nation cannot have its economy brought to a standstill by a single disruption. A serious nation does not remain without adequate backup generation capacity. A serious nation does not spend decades discussing solutions while citizens continue to endure the same blackouts year after year. The burden of this failure is not being carried by NAWEC. It is being carried by ordinary Gambians. It is carried by business owners watching inventory spoil, manufacturers losing production, workers facing reduced hours, and families forced to spend scarce resources on generators and fuel. Every outage means lost income, lost productivity, and lost opportunity. Yet there is no discussion of compensation. No discussion of accountability. No discussion of who bears responsibility for the repeated failures. Once again, the people are expected to absorb the losses while those responsible face no consequences.

This is no longer simply an electricity problem. It is a governance problem. It is a competence problem. It is an accountability problem. No country can industrialize under these conditions. No country can attract serious investment under these conditions. No country can create sustainable jobs under these conditions. Every blackout drives away opportunity and weakens confidence in our future. The cost of inaction is now greater than the cost of reform.

Gambians face a defining choice: continue accepting excuses and repeated failure, or demand transparency, accountability, and competent leadership capable of building an energy system worthy of our people and our future. The choice is stark: Act now or perish. Nations do not fail because they lack resources. They fail because they tolerate failure for too long.
