Gambia Livestock Marketing Agency Director General Momodou Darboe missed his scheduled testimony before the National Assembly Special Select Committee on Monday. The official appeared at the hearing but failed to deliver his prepared statement. Darboe blamed date confusion between two conflicting summons letters for the oversight. One letter requested document production while another called for questioning testimony. The mixed dates created administrative confusion within his office management.
Committee members accepted Darboe's written apology while expressing clear disappointment about the delay. Officials reminded the director of his constitutional duties under the 1997 Constitution and Assembly standing orders. The committee stressed that cooperation must remain complete and truthful throughout the investigation process. Members warned that such lapses could obstruct the inquiry's important objectives. Darboe received orders to prepare his full statement and return for Tuesday's testimony at 11 am.
The Special Select Committee examines asset sales and disposal from the previous government as documented in the Janneh Commission findings.
