Lieutenant General Mamat O.A. Cham, The Gambia’s Chief of Defence Staff, visited military camps in Njogon, Kerr Pateh, Farafenni, and Lamin Koto, identifying critical issues such as overcrowded barracks, shortages of uniforms, old infrastructure, and insufficient patrol vehicles.
Soldiers urgently needed secure perimeters, updated facilities, and reliable transport. CDS Cham pledged immediate action, including sending patrol vehicles and upgrading infrastructure, to enhance military welfare and operational readiness in response to The Gambia’s security challenges.
