The Committee was originally set up in May with a 120-day mandate to scrutinize how assets identified by the Janneh Commission were disposed of.<\/p>\n<p>Committee chairperson Hon. Abdoulie Ceesay, moving the motion, told lawmakers the extension was unavoidable given the \u201cvoluminous documentation\u201d and \u201ccomplex financial transactions\u201d under review. He added that the Committee had already carried out site visits and held multiple public hearings, but still had much ground to cover.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe scope of evidence has significantly expanded since the Committee began its work,\u201d Ceesay said, warning that rushing the process could undermine the credibility of the final report.<\/p>\n<p>The inquiry has stirred strong public interest amid concerns that some of Jammeh\u2019s forfeited properties, companies, and vehicles may have been undervalued or improperly sold. Past audit findings and Assembly hearings have already raised questions about due process and the role of intermediaries in the transactions.<\/p>\n<p>By agreeing to the extension, lawmakers signaled a unified stance on the need for a thorough probe. The motion was adopted without visible dissent.<\/p>\n<p>The Special Select Committee now has until mid-December to complete its work and present a comprehensive report to the Assembly. Its findings are expected to shape how the State manages and recovers assets linked to Jammeh and his associates and could set a precedent for handling corruption-tainted wealth in the future.<\/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.
