Gambia Print Boss Says Books Are Clean.
The head of Gambia's state printing company said his office keeps good records. Momodou Ceesay spoke up after claims that no one checked the books since 2021.
His words came weeks after new board chief Alieu Faal wanted special money checks. Faal said he found bad money handling at the printing office.
Ceesay told news people that experts look at their books often. He said they sent their 2021 records to lawmakers, and money experts are checking their 2022 books right now.
The printing boss faced questions about a large book-making machine. Some said his team paid more than they should for the D50 million device, while others claimed it was old and worked badly.
Ceesay said they bought the machine the right way. The board even went to Holland to see it first. He blamed the bad talk on people who wanted to hurt the printing office.
The state company watchdog wants to investigate these claims, but Ceesay insists that his office runs clean and clear.
