The Attorney General and Minister of Justice of Gambia, Abubacarr Tambadou, emphasized the new government's openness to the press during a workshop on the Gambian Freedom of Information Bill. The event took place at the Kairaba Beach Hotel and was aimed at fostering a relationship where journalists have access to information and practice responsible journalism. Tambadou highlighted the distinction between informing the public and inciting them, placing the responsibility on journalists. The workshop was attended by various stakeholders, including the Minister of Information and Communication Infrastructure, the UN Resident Coordinator, and members of the Gambia Press Union.

The article by Lamin Sanyang reports on the current state of the abandoned properties of Gambia's exiled former President Jammeh in his native village of Kanilai. The military presence has been removed, and the security guards have been disarmed and redeployed, leaving the property under the watch of local village youths. The property, once heavily guarded and the site of various state-funded projects and events, is also rumored to have been a place where Jammeh disposed of the bodies of his victims. Following a political impasse after Jammeh's defeat in the presidential polls and subsequent exile to Equatorial Guinea, the security situation at his properties has significantly changed, with no official security and only family members and a farm manager, Major Alieu Sowe, overseeing the area.
