Gambia Outraged by Hidden Jammeh Asset Docs

Rights groups demanded that the government release all papers from the Janneh Commission investigation. Information Minister Ismaila Ceesay told Coffee Time host Peter Gomez the commission never gave officials a buyer and seller list for Jammeh's seized property. His comments on May 20th sparked angry reactions from activist organizations across the country. Civil society leaders called the government's asset list from May 11th fake and misleading. Two major rights groups condemned how officials handled these important public documents.

Omar Camara from Gambia Against Looted Assets rejected the published list and threatened street protests if leaders refuse their demands. Rights activist Madi Jobarteh questioned where the missing appendices went from the commission report. He pointed out that published volumes mentioned additional documents about vehicle sales and bank records. The Justice Ministry released some volumes but kept Volume 4 and other attachments secret from citizens. These missing papers contained details about Jammeh's charities and business companies.

Activist groups want complete transparency about how the commission handled former president Jammeh's stolen wealth. They demand that officials publish every document the commission submitted to the government. Citizens deserve access to all information about asset sales and money recovery from the investigation. Civil society leaders promise to organize massive demonstrations if the state continues hiding these public records. Groups insist the government must immediately explain what happened to the missing commission papers.
