She was cabinet secretary in the last days of former president Yahya Jammeh and continued serving in the role when the Barrow government took over. The Barrow government then removed her from the post less than a year after it took over and shipped her to GNPC.

Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs Mambury Njie is currently the president of the Council of Ministers of OACP.
