Mam Nderry Touray has been appointed new deputy executive secretary of the Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission.
Prior to his appointment as Deputy Executive Secretary, Mr. Touray had served as the Commission’s Director of Human Resources since September 2018. His appointment comes following the resignation of Musu Bakoto Sawo.
The TRRC in a statement this morning said Touray played a key role in the setting up of the Commission’s headquarters at Dunes Resort and has been instrumental in ensuring the efficient functioning of the TRRC’s human and other resources.
“Uncle Mam, or Master as he is fondly referred to by TRRC staff, is everyone’s ‘banter mate’, to borrow a popular phrase from Musa Manneh, the Commission’s Lead Interpreter. He combines a very friendly disposition with machine-like efficiency and a keen sense of responsibility,” the commission said.
“We are very lucky to have a professional of Mr. Touray’s caliber,” said TRRC Executive Secretary Dr. Baba Galleh Jallow. “I’m not sure we could have run the Commission as smoothly as we have without his dynamic leadership and dedication. He has both the professional competence and the institutional memory required to help us finish our work and wrap up this year.”
Mr. Touray assumed his new role as Deputy Executive Secretary on January 1, 2021.
