Muhammed Manjang has been reportedly informed that he has been removed as managing director of Social Security and Housing Finance Corporation and redeployed.
Mr Manjang in 2018 faced stiff opposition to his leadership when staff at social security launched a vast campaign against his leadership. He was accused of abuse of office and corruption.
In August 2018, he was put on a three-month administrative leave after President Barrow set up a panel to investigate claims that were being made against him by his staff.
In November 2018, Mr Manjang bounced back; his suspension was lifted and was restored as Social Security boss. The leader of the staff at the corporation was sacked.
Now nearly one and a half years since the events, Manjang has been removed as the managing director of Social Security.
Manjang’s removal has not been made official yet and a source told The Fatu Network he was informed of his removal over the phone. A successor has also not been officially named.
It has also emerged he is redeployed to foreign affairs.
