Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Kexx Sanneh\u2019s statement at the National People\u2019s Party (NPP) rally in Bakau was proven to be false. Mayor Talib Ahmed Bensouda\u2019s take-home pay, including all salaries and allowances, was D35,000 in 2018 and is currently D44,000.<\/b><\/p>\n

At a rally in Bakau for the National People\u2019s Party, Kexx Sanneh, who recently endorsed Bakary Badjie over incumbent mayor Talib Ahmed Bensouda, made the following claim:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Talib Ahmed Bensouda was coming in 2020, the allowance allocated for the mayor was six hundred and sixty-eight million, five hundred and six-five thousand and sixty-four bututs. When he came, his sitting allowance was six hundred and ten million dalasis, eight hundred and eleven thousand and one hundred and seventeen dalasis, but he increased it to Six hundred and sixty-six million, five hundred and seventy-five thousand, six hundred and forty dalasis.\u201d<\/p>\n

In contrast to Kexx\u2019s assertions at the NPP rally, it was proven that the Mayor\u2019s Office Budget encompasses the remuneration and benefits of the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and 25 Councillors.<\/p>\n

It is also proven that contrary to Kexx\u2019s pronouncements at the Bakau rally, the mayor\u2019s basic salary has only been increased twice, both times based on the salary increment recommendations of the government for public servants with the approval of the National Assembly. The first increase was in 2019 when public servant salaries were increased by 25%. The second increase was in 2022 when public servant salaries were increased by 50%. As a result of these increases, the mayor\u2019s net salary has increased from D35,000 in 2018 to D44,000 in 2023.<\/p>\n

Kexx Sanneh admitted to making a mistake a few hours after making the statement. He posted a message on his Facebook page:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was brought to my attention that during my address to the people of Bakau at the rally mentioned a million instead of thousands.<\/p>\n
