The National Assembly Members of the Gambia have voted to uphold the anti-bleaching law enacted by former President Yahya Jammeh.
This comes after the Barrow government re-tabled the bill to the assembly seeking to repeal what it says is discriminatory against women.
The lawmakers claimed the act of skin bleaching is immoral and it’s against Gambian norms.
