Activists urge for unity in fight against corruption

According to Transparency International’s 2021 Corruption Perceptions Index, The Gambia Participates executive director Marr Nyang stated in a statement provided to The Standard: “The Gambia was ranked 102 least corrupt nation out of 180 countries.” We would like to reiterate the sluggish anti-corruption efforts in The Gambia on International Anti-Corruption Day. Anti-corruption legislation and government-led efforts to prevent, detect, and sanction corruption acts are one of the most important missing pieces in the country’s transitional justice process.
