Shocking Silence Gov Snubs FPAC On Jammeh Millions

Watchdog Waits for Answers on Missing Millions in Gambia.

The National Assembly wants to know what happened to money from selling ex-president Jammeh's things. Last year, they asked for papers showing D22 million in bank slips, but no one has given them the files yet.

Leaders set a clear rule - share the papers by September 28. If not, police must look into it. But the Vice President's office stays quiet. The law office sent a list of papers but kept the real files away.

Many other money cases need answers. The main bank must fix its books from 2019. State House fixed its buildings but broke the rules on who got the work. A school can't find papers for the D21 million spent.

Some timber sales raise questions. The state took wood from people but won't say what they did with the cash. Up north in Kuntaur, a worker spent D198,548 on street cleaning. They must pay it back or face police checks.

Bad paper trails show up all over. One office lost proof for D392,091 in costs. They found most slips later, but D20,000 still has no papers. These are just words from people saying they got paid.

The Finance Committee has the power to check these things. They watch how leaders spend public money and are waiting for facts about all these cases. The Vice President holds the key but hasn't opened any doors.

These money problems touch many parts of Gambia. From old leader's wealth to today's spending, the books need to be clear. The watch group wants straight answers about where the cash went.
