Director general of the Gambia Tourism Board Abdoulie Hydara has been removed from his role.
Mr Hydara was removed from the role on Thursday and redeployed to the foreign service after the Public Service Commission agreed to an executive decision, a source said.
He would work in the role of deputy head of mission of the Gambia High Commission in Nigeria.
Mr Hydara has been replaced by Abubacar Camara.
His removal comes two weeks after the ministry of tourism placed him and his entire team on half salary and asked that they stay home in an attempt to cut cost amid the coronavirus pandemic.
It also comes as players in the leisure and entertainment sub-sector clashed amongst themselves over the setting up of the Restaurant, Bar and Nightclub Association of The Gambia.
Some players in the sub-sector petitioned the GTBoard through Mr Hydara after they accused the group of comprising foreigners only.
