The year closed with the Gambia National Television broadcast of President Yahya Jammeh's speech to the nation. Jammeh restated honesty, hard work, self-reliance and justice as the founding values of his political vision. A promised 20% increase in government salaries accompanied the ritual call for patriotism. Jammeh announced reforms to improve the efficiency of public administration and criticised civil servants’ corruption and lack of commitment to the public good. Political liberties and civil rights remained under siege. Heavy floods during the rainy season were expected to have compromised the annual agricultural output.
