Haruna,
The Gambia with a land area of 10,000 sq km saw its population grew from
under 400,000 (1963) to over 1000,000 (1993). During the same time we
saw KMC's population growing from under 50,000 to over 200,000. By 1990s
annual rate of growth was 4.2%, under 2.1% is considered ideal goal
internationally. With it came with dwindling natural resource (rainfall,
land productivity, wood/energy) and increasing demand for land (for
settlement), education, health and other social services. This made
Population very important and rightly so to Jawara admin in the 1990s.
Situating it at the president's office was to give it extra attention it
needed. To think that it is all part of an elaborate social engineering
would be a little far fetched.
As administrator I am not to say who is or is not subscribed the L.
