Thursday, June 26, 2008
Members of the Farrafenni Civil Servants’ Association (FCSA) last Saturday embarked on a voluntary communal work on President Dr Alhaji Yahya Jammeh’s 20 hectare rice field in Janjangbureh, Central River Region.
The trip was coordinated by Mrs Fatoumatta Jahumpa-Ceesay, Speaker of the National Assembly who doubles as the mother of the association.
Receiving the members at the Island, Alhagie Ganyi Touray, the governor of Central River Region commended the members for their bold initiative to work on the president’s farm. He said “you have high regards for President Jammeh and I will do my utmost to support you as an association. To work on the President’s farm is not politics but part of national development. I will love to have the same type of association in my region”, Governor Touray concluded.
For his part, Demba BT Sambou, the chairman of the Farrafenni Civil Servants’ Association used the opportunity to congratulate President Jammeh for his back-to-the-land initiative and assured that the FCSA will continue to answer to the call.
Chairman Sambou then paid tribute to some departments in Farrafenni, such as the Farrafenni Army Barracks, Medical Research Council, Gamtel, Area Council, Customs and Excise, FRG Farrafenni, Saloum Natural Mineral Water among others, for their support in facilitating the trip to Janjangbureh. He expressed optimism that his association will continue to venture in such exercise when the need arises.
Sgt Dodou Jammeh a Police officer at the Farrafenni police station who is also the Public Relations Officer of the association, gave a brief history of the association at the gathering, adding that their aim since the establishment of the association was to foster unity and co-operation among different institution and departments within Farrafenni.
Speaking shortly after the exercise, Lt Corra Faye, farm manager, expressed gratitude and appreciation to the members of the association for their tireless efforts and readiness in developing the nation. He described the association’s presence at the President’s farm as another manifestation of their loyalty as well as a response to Jammeh’s back-to-the-land call. He said “ I am indeed proud of you”.
Mr Faye then advised members of the FCSA to be more united, saying “ you can only build a mountain if you are united”.
Other speakers at the ground included staff Sgt Tamba, the association’s social secretary and Abdoukardirr Drammeh secretary general of FCSA who expressed similar sentiments.
