Gambian CSOs Demand Independent Probe of Jammeh-Era Asset Disposal

Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in The Gambia have recently demanded independent investigations and a nationwide forensic audit into the sale and disposal of assets recovered from former President Yahya Jammeh.

This significant development highlights ongoing concerns regarding alleged governance, transparency, and financial management failures associated with these recovered assets. The CSOs' call for action is directly linked to the findings of the former Janneh Commission, which was established to investigate corruption and illicit enrichment during Jammeh's 22-year rule. Their demand underscores a persistent public desire for accountability and proper stewardship of state resources, particularly those reclaimed from a regime notorious for widespread corruption. The outcome of this demand, including whether the government will initiate such investigations or audits, is not yet reported.
