The matter was investigated by the select committee of the National Assembly whose report and recommendations were adopted by the plenary and sent to government for action.<\/p>\n<p>When contacted, Chief of Staff Ceesay said: \u201cThe executive have received the report and what we are required to do on the report we have done that and we have reported back to the parliament.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked if the recommendations against certain officials have been carried out, Mr Ceesay said he \u201ccannot discuss those details\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParliament wrote to us and we have responded to them. That is where I can stop,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>However according to Hon Lamin J Sanneh, the chairperson of the select committee that conducted the investigation, he is not aware of any correspondence from the executive regarding actions they have taken on the recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the executive to claim that they have received the report and written back to parliament may be misleading because that is not the procedure. Once we lay and adopt the report with resolutions, we expect the executive to implement the recommendations and report back to the parliament. The response should be in a written format and the Vice President should come and stand before the plenary and respond to every recommendation,\u201d Sanneh explained.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
