Dec 24, 2024, 11:11 AM | Article By: Ali Jaw

Kemo Bojang, nominated Youth Councilor at the Kanifing Municipal Council (KMC), recently appeared before the Local Government Commission of Inquiry, where he was quizzed over audit reports at the Council.

Asked how the KMC handled audit reports, Councilor Bojang claimed that 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.

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

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

However, Kemo maintained his answer on all the issues raised by the top counsel. “I believe the council discussed the issue.”

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