However, what\u2019s clear is that she has been commanded to appear at the Banjul High Court later this month.<\/p>\n<p>She stands accused of stealing nearly D60m from the chairman of GACH Group Dr. Abubakary Jawara.<\/p>\n<p>Sources said money laundering charges have also been slammed against Ms. Kebbeh.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, her name appeared on the list of defense witnesses that the Trumpet editor Fabakary B.
