Three former top bankers of the Central Bank of The Gambia have been barred from holding public officer for life after they were found liable over the withdrawal of millions of dollars from the bank.
Amadou Colley, Basiru Njie and Oumie Samba Savage served as governor, first deputy governor and second deputy governor respectively at the Central Bank of The Gambia.
They have been found guilty by the Janneh Commission of assisting former president Yahya Jammeh withdraw millions of dollars from the bank.
As a result, the Barrow administration has banned the three officials from holding public office for the remainder of their lives in a white paper released on Friday.
The white paper was released alongside the Janneh Commission’s report which detailed how former president Jammeh looted the country’s treasury.
Thirty-one people including Colley, Njie and Samba have been named and shamed as being the people who assisted Mr Jammeh in his financial delinquency.
