Gambians Against Looted Assets, Banjul (2026)

11/06/2026

From Accra to Work! ✊🏿

Our Spokesperson has called on students, business men and women, and all Gambians to join the 19th June protest against the continuous electricity and water crisis in The Gambia.

Electricity and water are basic needs and essential necessities of life. There is no excuse for any government to fail to provide these fundamental services to its citizens.

Therefore, join us on 19th June as we demand adequate, reliable, and uninterrupted electricity and water supply for all Gambians.

Power to the People! ✊🏿

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UPDATE ON OUR COURT CASE AT KANIFING MAGISTRATE

The Central Committee of Gambians Against Looted Assets (GALA) wants to inform the public that our scheduled court appearance today will no longer be held. We have just confirmed with the court clerk that the magistrate is not sitting today.

Despite the delay, our arrested/trial comrades remain strong and resolute. Our 72-hour detention for peacefully celebrating our first anniversary at the Youth Monument is unjust, and no amount of intimidation will change that position or silence us.

We also want to assure everyone that the 19th June People’s Protest is still on course. We will continue to organise and fight for regular electricity and clean water for all Gambians.

We call on all youth and citizens to stand firm with us. We will share updates soon.

The struggle continues. The people shall win.

As we stand before the court, we remain resolute and unwavering. No amount of intimidation, harassment, or detention can silence a movement driven by the aspirations of the people. Our commitment to accountability, justice, and the dignity of ordinary Gambians remains stronger than ever.

We also reaffirm that the 19th June People’s Protest remains on course. We shall continue to organize and mobilize for adequate electricity and clean water basic necessities that every Gambian deserves.

We call upon all progressive forces, youth, workers, students, and conscious citizens to stand firm in solidarity with this just cause.

PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

THE PEOPLE DEMAND WATER, ELECTRICITY, AND DIGNITY: MASS PROTEST SCHEDULED FOR 19TH JUNE

Gambians Against Looted Assets, (GALA) have formally submitted a notification to the Gambia Police Force informing them of a peaceful public protest scheduled for 19th June 2026 at the NAWEC Headquarters.

This action is a direct response to the unbearable electricity outages and water shortages that continue to plague ordinary Gambians across the country. While citizens endure darkness, dry taps, damaged businesses, interrupted education, and declining living conditions, those entrusted with solving these problems continue to offer excuses instead of solutions.

Electricity and water are not privileges; they are fundamental necessities. The continued failure to provide these essential services undermines the dignity, welfare, and economic survival of the Gambian people.

We therefore call upon workers, students, women, youth, market vendors, transport operators, and all progressive forces to stand united in demanding accountability and immediate action. The people can no longer remain silent while suffering becomes normalized.

Our protest shall be peaceful, disciplined, and lawful, but our message shall be firm and unequivocal: Enough is Enough.

The struggle for decent living conditions is a legitimate struggle. The demand for water and electricity is a just demand. It is the collective voice of a people who deserve reliable public services and responsive leadership.

On 19th June, let our voices be heard. Let those entrusted with public responsibility understand that citizens will continue to organize, mobilize, and advocate until meaningful solutions are delivered.

Power to the People.
Water for the People.
Electricity for the People.
Long Shall the People Live!

Signed,
Central Committee,GALA

PRESS STATEMENT

Issued: 1st June 2026

GALA has taken note of NAWEC's latest statement regarding the ongoing nationwide electricity crisis. While the utility seeks to blame regional supply challenges and technical difficulties, the statement itself exposes years of poor planning, weak preparedness, and a lack of accountability within the country's energy sector.

The admission that The Gambia remains heavily dependent on imported electricity and lacks sufficient backup generation capacity raises serious questions about the management of public resources and the long-term planning of the sector. Backup systems are meant for emergencies. If they are unavailable during a national crisis, then the institutions responsible have failed in their duty to the Gambian people.

For years, citizens have been promised reliable electricity, yet businesses continue to suffer losses, students are forced to study in darkness, health facilities face disruptions, and households endure prolonged outages. The current situation is not simply the result of regional challenges; it is the consequence of a system that has been poorly managed and inadequately prepared for predictable disruptions.

The Gambian people deserve more than explanations and apologies. They deserve transparency, accountability, and concrete solutions. Those responsible for the repeated failures in the electricity sector must be held accountable, and the public must be informed about the measures being taken to prevent future crises.

GALA stands with the suffering people of The Gambia and calls on the Government and NAWEC to stop the cycle of excuses and start delivering results. Reliable electricity is not a privilege it is a basic necessity and a fundamental requirement for national development.

Furthermore, GALA hereby puts the Government and NAWEC on notice that if there is no significant improvement in electricity supply and no clear demonstration of accountability by Mid June as claimed by NAWEC, the movement will mobilize citizens across the country for a lawful nationwide protest on 19th June 2026. The continued suffering of Gambians cannot be normalized while those responsible continue to offer excuses instead of solutions.

Businesses are suffering, students are studying in darkness, patients are affected, and families are enduring unbearable hardship. The people have waited long enough. June 19th is a deadline for accountability. The Government and NAWEC must act now or face the collective voice of Gambians demanding change and responsible leadership.

Enough excuses. Enough failures. The Gambian people deserve accountability, reliable electricity, and a government that works in their interest.

The Movement Lives!

June 19…………….✊🏿

STATEMENT BY GAMBIANS AGAINST LOOTED ASSETS (GALA) ON THE RESIGNATION OF THE CHIEF OF DEFENCE STAFF

Gambians Against Looted Assets (GALA) has taken note of the resignation of the Chief of Defence Staff following the serious allegations of corruption, misconduct, and abuse of office that have recently emerged in the public domain.

While the resignation of a public official facing such allegations may be welcomed as a step towards protecting the integrity of public institutions, GALA wishes to emphasize that resignation alone does not amount to accountability. Public office holders entrusted with state resources and authority must remain answerable for their actions, whether they continue to occupy office or not.

The allegations that have been raised are grave and touch on matters of public trust, transparency, and the proper management of state assets. As such, GALA calls on the relevant authorities to conduct a thorough, independent, and transparent investigation into all allegations without fear, favor, or political interference.

The Gambian people deserve answers. They deserve to know whether public resources were mismanaged, whether public trust was violated, and whether any laws were broken. Where evidence of wrongdoing exists, those responsible must be held fully accountable in accordance with the laws of The Gambia.

GALA further reminds the government that the fight against corruption cannot be selective. Accountability must extend to every public official, regardless of rank, status, or political affiliation. The resignation of an official should never be used as a substitute for investigation, prosecution, or justice.

As an organization committed to transparency, accountability, and the protection of public resources, GALA will continue to monitor developments closely and advocate for full disclosure of the facts surrounding this matter.

No individual should be above the law, and no resignation should be allowed to bury the truth.

Justice. Accountability. Transparency.
