Lamin Jammeh's 39-Year Battle with Unbearable Pain

Lamin Jammeh, a native of Nuimi, has been enduring constant, debilitating pain for over 24 years. What began as a minor discomfort in 2001 has since evolved into a life-altering condition, leaving him unable to move or even stand on his own. For more than two decades, Lamin has suffered from severe leg pain, and the toll it has taken on his physical and mental health is unimaginable. Today, he is in critical condition, unable to care for himself or his family, trapped in an unrelenting cycle of suffering with no end in sight.

"I never imagined this would be my life. I stand on a needle, and now my leg has been amputated. I can't walk anymore, and I'm stuck in one place, yet I still have a family to take care of," Lamin says.

Once a vibrant man full of hope and ambition, Lamin now finds himself confined to a bed, unable to perform even the most basic tasks. His legs, once strong, have become a constant source of torment. The agony has reached such levels that he can no longer bear the thought of standing or walking. Even simple movements that most people take for granted have become insurmountable challenges. With his body deteriorating and his spirit crushed by years of isolation and suffering, Lamin is reaching out for help.

His situation has become dire. He can no longer afford the medical care he so desperately needs. Despite seeking treatment from various doctors over the years, no solution has been found. His family is overwhelmed, watching him slowly wither away and unable to provide the support he requires.

Lamin’s medical needs are urgent. He requires a proper diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing care, but without financial means, he cannot access the necessary help. What once seemed like a minor ailment has now consumed his entire life. He is unable to work, placing immense financial strain on his family.

To assist Lamin with medical treatment or medication, please reach out to the following contact numbers: 5011111, ‪ 701 8548‬.

President Barrow Receives Updates on the Performance of SOEs

State House, Banjul, 23rd December 2024: Following a detailed presentation by the Commission on the State-Owned Enterprises’ (SOEs) annual performance and financial reports, President Barrow stressed that SOEs were set up to make a profit and pay dividends to the government and not the other way around.

While thanking the commission for a thorough presentation, the President strongly warned that his government cannot continue to have SOEs collecting salaries from taxpayers money and not performing, saying “Difficult decisions have to be made with the SOEs we can do without.”

He told the technical teams to sit over the outcome of the Commission’s update and have frank discussions for decisive decisions to be taken.

The presentation revealed that while some of the SOEs have improved their financial performances, there are a number that are still in the red with high overhead costs, leading to government intervention to pay their staff salaries.

The Chair of the Commission, Mr Ousainou Ngum, acknowledged the potential some of the SOEs have and advised the government to look at policies to harness the opportunities.

The Commission set up to provide an oversight function to the SOEs, made a comparative analysis by reviewing their financial performance, audit reports, recruitment and governance of the SOEs between 2023 and 2024.

Also, Board members were trained to build their capacity to better govern with a focus on strategic planning and assessment of financial performances in 2024.
