Speaker Jatta Demands Answers on Jammeh's Loot

National Assembly Speaker Fabakary Tombong Jatta wants honest and fair work during investigations of former President Yaya Jammeh's property. Parliament members formed a special committee to examine how officials sold and handled assets seized from the former leader. The Speaker spoke during the second emergency parliament meeting about committee duties. He told lawmakers that their appointment creates serious responsibility to parliament and Gambian citizens. Committee work represents important efforts to maintain government accountability.

Jatta wants investigators to focus on facts and evidence rather than political pressure from outside groups. The inquiry helps protect public resources and rebuild trust between people and their government. He praised committee members for their dedication to oversight responsibilities. The Speaker recognizes how sensitive these matters remain for national history. Committee members must follow proper legal procedures during their investigation work.

Parliament resolved earlier to create the special committee for investigating asset sales. The committee examines disposal methods used for former President Jammeh's seized property. Jatta considers this investigation a critical part of good governance efforts. The Speaker believes transparency will help restore public confidence. He emphasized that committee members serve both parliament and ordinary Gambians through their work.
