Ebrima G. Sankareh, the Gambia Government Spokesperson and Presidential Diaspora Adviser, confirmed on Wednesday’s breakfast program, “Coffee Time with Peter Gomez,” that “a process is in motion to set up a Commission of Inquiry into the financial activities of all area or municipal councils throughout The Gambia, no exceptions – all of them.”
He stated, “In point of fact, the legal instruments were presented last week and President Barrow endorsed them immediately.” He has signed the legal documents, and the Commission to investigate the finances of all area councils is being set up.
