Millions of dalasis generated from the sale of former President Yahya Jammeh’s assets remain unaccounted for, raising serious questions about the management of state funds.
A National Assembly committee has revealed that receiver and trustee Alpha Barry, appointed in 2019 to oversee the disposal of Jammeh’s properties, failed to deposit significant sums into the government’s Asset Recovery Account at the Central Bank of The Gambia.
Between 2019 and 2025, the receiver handled GMD 1.7 billion from the sale of properties, vehicles, businesses, and other assets.
Yet only GMD 1.25 billion made it into the government’s accounts, leaving a staggering GMD 466 million unaccounted for.
