The
absence of magistrate Kebba Baldeh of the Banjul Magistrates’ Court yesterday
delayed the case involving 24 government officials.
Because
of the magistrate’s illness, the case could not proceed, and was adjourned by
the clerk until 21 December 2016.
The
24 government officials were arraigned and charged with neglect of official
duty and abuse of office.
They
denied any wrongdoing.
The
prosecution is yet to bring forward their witness to testify, after four months
of argument between the prosecution and the defence.
