Dr Ismaila Ceesay, minister of information, has criticised the leadership of mayor Ahmed Talib Bensouda for being responsible for the uncollected garbage in Bundung.

Dr Ceesay launched the attack against mayor Bensouda during President Barrow’s tour of the Kanifing municipality.

He urged residents to hold the council leadership accountable for not caring to address their plights, adding that despite shop owners paying their duties the council still gives no care to collect the waste materials from them.

“People of Bundung need to take the whole KMC accountable. They are not doing their job in Bundung. What I have seen, KMC is not doing their job.

“This is what the Bundung people should know who care about them and that person is the President (Adama Barrow) and his government. But KMC (Kanifing Municipal Council) are not doing their job, because these shop owners are paying duties to the council, but see they are throwing the garbage in the drainage,” he said.
