FactSheet: Only 16 Out of 262 TRRC Recommendations Implemented
The Gambia’s National Human Rights Commission’s (NHRC) latest progress report highlights that only 16 recommendations issued by the Truth, Reconciliation, and Reparations Commission (TRRC) have been implemented by the Gambia Government over a two-year period (2021 to 2023). More in the FactSheet.
How Committed is President Barrow’s Government in Progressing TRRC Prosecutions?
Since the TRRC recommended prosecution of those bearing the most responsibility, President Barrow’s government continues to tout it’s commitment to prosecution. However, back in 2021, President Barrow’s NPP attempted to go into an alliance with former President Jammeh, which failed, leaving the President in alliance with the APRC, led by Speaker Jatta. These mixed messages have necessitated this review of the government’s efforts to complete it’s implementation plan on prosecution on time.
