Gambia: Ex President Jammeh's Assets and Its Controversies and Outcome

The moral authority to change a government grows by preventing past mistakes. A report by Mustapha Darboe claims there was a lack of transparency and accountability in handling Ex-President Jammeh's forfeited assets. This led to public outcry and social tension. Concerned individuals tried to amplify these allegations, prompting arrests.

In response, the National Assembly held an emergency session. They decided to form a committee of inquiry with members from various political parties and female representatives. This committee will investigate the sale and disposal of Jammeh's forfeited assets. They must submit their report within four months.

The President addressed the nation about this issue. He stated that the cabinet had discussed it thoroughly. He promised to take necessary actions to resolve the matter.

The President noted that an inquiry would be opened but emphasized avoiding duplication. The National Assembly is already conducting its own inquiry, while the National Audit Office will audit the accounts.

He assured that once reports are submitted, the government will act quickly. The country awaits the outcome of these inquiries. There are hopes for resolution regarding those arrested in connection with this incident.
