Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The National Assembly Member for Fon\u0303i Kansala, Almameh Gibba, has said he will write to former president Yahya Jammeh to seek a power of attorney to sue the government for economic crimes and embezzlement.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Kansala NAM has been persistent in his quest to ensure the government provides full details of Jammeh\u2019s assets, including who bought what and for how much.<\/p>\n

In response to his queries, the justice ministry provided a list but Gibba said the information was unsatisfactory.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that they are not willing to be transparent with the full details of how they disbursed Jammeh\u2019s assets and those who bought them, I have resorted to consulting Jammeh for him to give me power of attorney to sue the government for economic crimes and embezzlement,\u201d Gibba told.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am ready to seek consent from Jammeh and join forces with him to sue this government for illegally taking his assets and failing to account for them. I have made several attempts to get [Justice] Minister Dawda Jallow to provide the full inventory of Jammeh\u2019s assets, but to no avail. I am certain that a lot of Jammeh\u2019s assets, including a good number of his gold collections, have not been accounted for,\u201d he charged.<\/p>\n

He argued that while the government \u201cis pushing to prosecute Jammeh\u201d, it should also be prepared to answer for the embezzlement of his assets in court.<\/p>\n

Gibba said it is apparent that Jammeh\u2019s cattle and his collection of expensive vehicles \u201cwere sold at a very cheap price\u201d, and that the \u201cgovernment could not even give an account\u201d of the sales.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that it is apparent that they have no records of the sales of Jammeh\u2019s assets, we are ready to go to court to ensure the government is put to task to explain how they sold the assets,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

No house for Jammeh<\/b><\/p>\n

He said it \u201cis sad for a president who served for 22 years to be without a single home or vehicle\u201d alleging that \u201ca cartel\u201d in the Barrow government was responsible.<\/p>\n

\u201cBarrow, the former and current ministers of justice, the commissioners of the Janneh Commission, and some members of Coalition 2016 joined forces to make sure they defraud Jammeh, his family, and everyone related to him. When they came to power, they seized all his assets, including compounds sheltering his immediate and external family members. Even his own ancestral Kanilai family home was seized and turned into a military battalion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are telling us Jammeh cannot own a single compound after 22 years in power, but we are seeing ministers building mansions after two or three years. Isn\u2019t that ironic? How about President Barrow? How is he able to build all his mansions? Do you think conscious Jammeh supporters will support President Barrow? It is pathetic. I want to tell President Barrow that he is comfortably watching as Jammeh\u2019s ancestral home is turned into a military barracks, but the same could happen to his Mankamang Kunda residence because what goes around sometimes may come around. You never know what tomorrow holds,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said even if Jammeh\u2019s family wants to enter his Kanilai compound, where his immediate family is currently living, they have to seek clearance from the military.<\/p>\n

\u201cJammeh didn\u2019t do this to former president Jawara because when Jawara went into exile, Jammeh brought him back and gave [sic] him a home to live in for the rest of his life, and his family is still there,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
