Manding King Amadou Kora has told the parliamentary inquiry investigating the sale of former President Yahya Jammeh’s assets that he advised those selling Jammeh’s cattle to increase the price to D12,000 each after finding out they were being sold for only D5,000.
Testifying before the committee, Kora said he went to Kanilai, where he found a large group of people buying and selling Jammeh’s cattle.
According to him, the people at the scene were referring to a man called Jallow, who he later learned was in charge of the sale.
“I found a large group of people at Kanilai buying and selling the cattle, and they were all calling Jallow, who I later understood was the one in charge of selling them,” Kora told the inquiry.
“Jallow was selling each cattle for D5,000, and I advised him to make it D12,000. But those buying were not happy with me, so I decided to leave.”
