A new law to protect and promote a fair, safe and informed market place
on which the rights and welfare of consumers are fully protected will soon be
effected in the Gambia.
Mr Alhagie Tamu Alieu Njie, chairman of the recently launched
Consumer Protection Consortium, has disclosed that they have recently initiated
a draft bill on consumer protection, which will address issues of consumer
rights and welfares.
“When this comes into law, there will be sufficient recognition to
deal with consumer welfare and protection,” Mr Njie said while presiding over
the official launching of the Consumer Protection Consortium (CPC), formed by
various consumer protection associations in the country, held on 7 April at the
KMC Multipurpose Centre in Kanifing.
However, he said the law cannot do what it supposes to do when it
is not enforced. Therefore, he said, the
launching of the CPC is a step in the right direction as it will create
awareness of some of the issues in the consumer protection exercise when it is
passed.
The Act, when it comes into being, will set out ground rules
covering most consumer transactions. It
will also prevent fraud, deception, and unfair business practices in the
marketplace.
The proposed Act will protect the consumer against unfair trade
practices, empower them to
seek redress against unfair trade practices, and also protect them from
unscrupulous exploitation.
Commenting on the CPC, Mr Njie said it is set up mainly to
coordinate consumer organizations thus striving for the promotion and
protection of the rights and welfare of the consumers.
He affirmed that the development was a significant milestone in
the country’s economic liberation which when developed will enhance
developmental aspirations of the people.
He recalled that the government has launched series of programmes
aimed at the economic development of the people.
“In 2007, the government recognised the need to pass the Gambia
Competition Act,” he said. However, he noted that the Competition Act only
protects the competitors and not the affairs of consumers. This is what necessitates the creation of a
bill that protects the rights and welfare of consumers also.
Also speaking on the occasion, the Chief Executive Officer of
Kanifing Municipal Council, Mustapha Njie, said: “It is a good thing that
consumers are made to see things through the same lenses and better still for
there to be an organ to coordinate the common interest of consumers in a global
market plagued with so much inequity and unfair trade.”
He called on the consumers to be united in their efforts, and
assured the CPC of the Municipality’s support in the interest of the masses.

private practice as though it is a hobby, right.

just enjoy the relaxing massage in silence, there are also those that like to strike a conversation with the masseuse, which gives you the opportunity
to learn more about your clients and build a good professional relationship with them.
