Kemo Bojang, nominated youth councillor at the Kanifing Municipal Council (KMC), has been quizzed by the Local Government over audit reports at the Council.

He was asked how the KMC handled audit reports. Kemo claimed they were having an issue with audit reports.

Lead Counsel Patrick Gomez, who led the questioning, informed him that there were audit reports prepared by the Internal Audit Department of the KMC, which were submitted to the management of the Council.

Kemo said he could not remember dealing with the audit reports, saying he could remember only one. 

Lead Counsel Gomez took time to make references to findings of the internal auditors of the KMC pertaining to financial mismanagement, lapses and legal violations, among others.

Kemo maintained his answer on all the issues raised by the top counsel.

“I believe the council discussed the issue,” he insisted.

The Commission ordered him to provide the information (meeting minutes) to justify his claims.
