Lawmakers met Wednesday for a special meeting about former President Jammeh's sold assets. They agreed to form a team that would look into how these items were sold off. Majority leader Billay Tunkara brought forward the plan based on national law. The team must finish their work within 120 days after they start meeting. They can call anyone to help them learn what happened.
Deputy Speaker Seedy Njie asked fellow lawmakers with strong political views to stay away from this team. He said they need fair people who can look at facts without taking sides. Central Baddibou representative Sulayman Saho praised this idea during the discussion. Saho thanked the deputy speaker for speaking up about political conflicts. The deputy speaker later clarified he has never been named in any previous reports about these assets. He disagreed with Saho about being politically biased himself.
