BCC says four officials involved in peddling false claims against the council

The Banjul City Council Chief Executive Officer said on Friday four individuals that work at the council are at the forefront of a campaign of calumny against the council.

Mustapha Batchilly stated this during a news conference on Friday at BCC.

“We know them, there are four of them principally,” Mr Batchilly said.

The Banjul City Council in recent days has come under barrage of corruption and nepotism claims, with the city’s Mayor Rohey Lowe accused of being at the heart of it.

One of the claims is that she included her assistant in a US trip only for the official to refuse to return to the country. The official was however paraded at Friday’s news conference.
