“They did not meet the Managing Director and some senior staff here at the time but it has to do with unpaid taxes by the Company” the source said.

The company said to be owned by former President Yahya Jammeh has been alleged to have not been paying tax throughout the 22 years of former President Jammeh.

Meanwhile, the staff have left the office hoping the matter is resolved soon.

Yet, there is no official reaction from the management of the company to the action by GRA.
