The economic crimes trial involving Edward Graham, former managing director of the Social Security and Housing Finance Corporation, was yesterday adjourned at the Special Criminal Court before Justice Emmanuel Nkea.

When the case was announced, the accused, Edward Graham, told the court he was applying for an adjournment on the grounds that his lawyer was sick.

The case at that juncture was adjourned till 23 October 2011.

According to the charge sheet, Edward Graham, between January and December 2010, at Banjul being employed in the public service as managing director of the Social Security and Housing Finance Corporation, willfully caused the loss of D73,000 to Home Finance Company Gambia Limited and thereby committed an offence.
