Speaking on Coffee Time with West Coast Radio, Dr. Ceesay said: “When the Janneh Commission finished their work, they submitted a nine volume report to the president. In this nine volume report, there is nowhere in this report which talks about the sale of the Jammeh assets and this is something the Ministry of Justice has confirmed.”
“The Janneh Commission submitted a report but never submitted a report on the sale of the Jammeh asset.”
“The list that was released as far as the sales of the Jammeh asset are concerned, they were not gotten from the Janneh Commission. They got them from those who did the sales. So the Janneh Commission did not do a good job in providing a detailed report of the sales,” he stressed.
“What the government had was the sales of the properties done by the auctioneer, Alpha Capital. Those are the ones the government had and this was the list submitted to the National Assembly.”
“When it comes to the tractors, cattle and the vehicles, nothing was submitted to the government.”
“The government cannot give what they don't have. What we have was the sales done by Alpha Capital, and this is the list released.”
“The Ministry of Justice failed in their oversight at that time to ensure that the Janneh Commission submits a comprehensive report of the sales.”
“Like the president said in his speech, there will be accountability and the parliamentary inquiry will make sure of that.”
“I believe the parliamentary inquiry will help us unearth a lot of these things that are still pending. These information gaps that are happening surrounding Jammeh’s assets; the inquiry will really help us unearth and also to get a better understanding of these issues.”
“I can guarantee you that the president has made a commitment to take firm action against perpetrators.”
