President Barrow Lifts Ban on Jammeh-era Officials: Reversal of Janneh Commission’s Restrictions Sparks Controversy

The Fatu Network has been reliably informed that President Adama Barrow has lifted the ban imposed by the Janneh Commission on Momodou Sabally, Secretary General and head of the Civil Service under the Jammeh regime, Amadou Colley, former Central Bank Governor, Njogu Bah, former Gambia’s Secretary General and Head of Civil Service, Sirra Wally Ndow Njie and her husband, Basiru Njie.

In 2021, the Gambia government accepted the recommendations of the Janneh Commission to bar these individuals from holding public office or being appointed as directors of any state-owned enterprise for their roles in aiding and abetting former President Jammeh in corruption, theft, and economic crimes.

Both Monodou Sabally and Njogu Bah, former secretary generals under Yahya Jammeh, were handed a lifetime ban from holding public offices while Amadou Colley was banned for 10 years.

The Fatu Network will update you as the story unfolds.
