Lawyer Surahata Janneh, Chairman of the Commission of Inquiry has told Dr. Njogu Bah, former Secretary General to name any of the close associates of the former President Yahya Jammeh to the commission.
The former Secretary General when asked to name any close associate of the former president kept quiet for a moment before suggesting to the chairman of the commission to rephrase the question. The chairman refused to rephrase the question, saying he only asked a simple question. He repeated the question again.
“I did not ask any legal jargon,” Chairman Surahata Janneh said.
Former Secretary General Bah smiled at the chairman of the commission of inquiry who asked him about the reason for his smile saying, the commission is very serious about things but the witness said he was smiling at his own dilemma.
Chairman Janneh then questioned him about the reason for his dilemma while reminding him to tell the truth as he was sworn before the commission.
“Who do you know who were frequent or close associates of the former president during the time you were Secretary General,” Chairman Janneh repeated.
The former Secretary General appealed to the commission to allow him to refresh his mind before his next appearance.
Meanwhile, he was ordered to come to the Secretariat tomorrow relating to files from the office of the president.
