The Minister of Justice Abubacarr Tambadou has said the Janneh Commission has exposed former President Yahya Jammeh’s financial delinquency.
Tambadou stated this while responding to questions from members of the national assembly on the Janneh Commission on Tuesday.
Tambadou said: “I am proud to report that largely because of their work, conducted in a professional manner with respect and adherence to due process, fairness and transparency, we have exposed the alarming scale of corruption and financial delinquency of the former president..
“We have shared information generated in the course of tracking and recovery of assets procured through illicit enrichment and we have registered some success in this endeavour; and we have seen a tightening of financial regulations by government departments and agencies to prevent corruption and financial leakages in the system etc.
The Janneh Commission was an investigation set up in 2017 by President Barrow to delve into the financial, assets and business dealings of former president Yahya Jammeh.
The inquiry which was led by legal mind Surahata Janneh finished its work in December 2018 but its report which is set to indict the former president is yet to be submitted to President Barrow.
