The director of the Gambia national budget, Momodou Sabally, has said youths should be empowered with lucrative skills to drive them away from thievery and banditry
This
will help them to shift attention from immoral acts, for the society to live in
holistic happiness, he says.
Sabally,
a prolific author of inspirational books, says
leaving these people to dwell in their miserable acts, an approach employed by some
parts of the society, would ruin not only vulnerable youths but also “those of
us who think we know better and could cater for our own happiness.
“So
we have to reach out to that section of society who are seeking happiness in
all the wrong places because they also think that what they do is what will
bring them happiness. So we must go out there and have a respectful conversation
with them,” he said, adding: “Yet we
must not stop there, we should also proffer to them alternatives.”
Mr
Sabally was speaking on 19 May at the Kairaba Beach Hotel in Kololi
during the official launch of two of his recently published books - The Way to Happiness: Inspirational Essays, and
Love Notes: Inspiring Poems. Both
books were published earlier this year.
