Changing the minds of many women to understand that we are the kingmakers is a big achievement. - Rohey Malick Lowe

When I was elected as mayor in 2018, I made sure that I worked tirelessly in implementing my manifesto which addresses women empowerment, health, education and culture among others. What we did when we came in 2018 was to transform, restructure and reposition the council to one of the best area councils in the country. BCC was just like a political bureau before we came into power. I can now tell you that the council is now repositioned and we have now transformed it to a better. institution. We now have qualified procurement officers, record offices among others.

Women’s development and the empowerment of young people in the capital city Banjul will continue in my second term. We also have housing projects for women. What I always want is to ensure that the difficulties women of Banjul and the country at large are encountering become the things of the past. We will do everything possible in ensuring that women of Banjul and the country in general are economically empowered and their livelihoods significantly change.

We also focused on culture given the fact that culture is part of Banjul. We thus take a key role in supporting cultural groups in the city as well as also supporting religious groups in Banjul.
