Africa-Press – Gambia. The Asset Recovery Committee (ARC) of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), established by the party’s Central Committee, has concluded its investigation into assets it claims are rightfully owned by the party.
Among the properties identified are the building currently occupied by the Gambia Immigration Department in Banjul, the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) office in Banjul, and the youth center in Brikama.
According to the PPP, the ARC conducted a comprehensive investigation that included the collection of evidence and interviews with credible witnesses to verify ownership of these properties. Based on the committee’s findings, the following assets have been confirmed as belonging to the PPP:
1. 21 Leman Street, Banjul, currently occupied by the Gambia Immigration Department.
2. Tobacco Road Property, which houses the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) Banjul office.
3. The PPP political bureau, now referred to as the youth center located in Brikama.
The party also stated that several other properties and items—including vehicles, furniture, and official documents—were seized during the AFPRC/APRC regime and remain in state custody.
“Senior Counsel Malick H.B. Jallow has verified the evidence related to these assets,” the PPP said.
The party said the next stage of its recovery effort will involve initiating formal dialogue with individuals and institutions currently in possession of the contested assets.
The party emphasized that it intends to pursue recovery through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms but will not hesitate to resort to formal legal action if necessary. “Senior Counsel Malick H.B. Jallow will lead these negotiations on behalf of the ARC. The PPP is dedicated to taking significant steps to recover its assets, which are essential to the party’s history, legacy, and the contributions of its past members. The objective is to recover these assets through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), or if necessary, through formal legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction,” they concluded.
