Musa Yali Batchilly has said some senior officials working in the Barrow government bought houses in Dakar, vowing to give evidence to journalists when the ‘right time comes’.
The Gambia Action Party secretary general stated this in an exclusive interview with The Fatu Network.
He said: “I have high regard for the youths of this country. Look at the vegetables they are eating, it is produced by our women. Are they empowering these women? They are not.
“And you go buy houses in Dakar [for] millions of dollars, millions of dalasis? The car they drive, when you sell it [it’s] 600[000] to one million dalasis.
“They cannot even buy proper chairs in the classroom. They know what I’m talking about. I’m urging Mr President… I’m not accusing, I have evidence and if they push me I will bring it on.
“I will give it to journalists when the right time comes. I’m telling them to sell the properties and bring the money back. I’m giving them time.
“I’m telling you whoever bought… They know themselves, those who bought houses in Dakar. We have evidence on the table and if they challenge me, we will bring it on. Sell those houses back and bring the money to the country. It doesn’t belong to you.”
