KM Mayor Talib Bensouda announced on Friday the KMC has recovered an additional 2.4 million dalasis from the 12 million allegedly swindled by chief executive officer Sainabou Martin Sonko.
Mr Bensouda told reporters: “The Council has worked tirelessly with the bank to recover additional funds from the unapproved land loan. Since the last press conference, an additional GMD2,400,000 was successfully recovered from the fraudulent transaction of 12 million loan.
“The additional amount of GMD2,400,000 has been returned to the account of KMC’s Staff Welfare Association. This brings the balance of the missing funds to GMD900,000.”
A huge corruption scandal hit KMC last month when Mayor Bensouda astonishingly told reporters the CEO of the council illegally obtained a loan of 12 million dalasis and bought a land.
