Modou A. Njie claimed there were so many issues uncovered by the Commission that were not known to him. One of the issues was the cash shortages and audit queries against the market masters and mistresses working under him.
On his salary, Njie said he used to receive above D18,000. He was given his bank statement to state the salary payments into his account. It was noted that the salary he mentioned was above what was mentioned, because he was receiving less than that. However, he claimed he was servicing loans he took from the bank as well as the Council.
Commissioner Oreme E. Joiner informed Njie that the last loan deduction or repayment was made in January 2020. He thus noted there was no deduction after this. Njie remained silent. The Commission ordered him to provide his loan details.
The KKM market manager was asked about the audit query that market masters under him reused ticket books that were not supposed to be used. He claimed he was not aware of that audit finding, saying he did not see the audit report beforehand. This finding was contained in the 2021 audit report for KMC.
"We will recall you soon to discuss the issues in detail," Chairperson Jainaba Bah later addressed as the session drew towards an adjournment. Njie was subsequently discharged.
