Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Marr Nyang, Executive Director of Gambia Participates, has said that recent corruption allegations involving President Adama Barrow\u2019s nephew, Amadou Sanneh, present a critical test for the strength and credibility of The Gambia\u2019s democratic institutions.<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking in reaction to The Republic\u2019s report on the case, Nyang stressed that the handling of the matter will reveal whether key bodies such as the National Assembly, the police, and the Financial Intelligence Unit are committed to serving the Gambian people or protecting those in power.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is where we are going to know whether justice in our country is selective or not,\u201d Nyang said. \u201cSo we are not going to flip the page and read another one. We want to see something happening. We have seen the president sending the inspector general of police, giving orders for certain actions, and they have been doing that without hesitation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nyang argued that corruption under the current administration has reached unprecedented levels, describing it as \u201cdecentralized\u201d and involving multiple actors across institutions and sectors. He noted that the scale and complexity of corruption today make it difficult to fully grasp its scope.<\/p>\n

Drawing comparisons with the former regime, Nyang cited the Janneh Commission\u2019s findings of nearly $1 billion in corruption linked to former President Yahya Jammeh. He contended that, while the Jammeh era concentrated corruption around one figure, today\u2019s administration has allowed it to spread more widely.<\/p>\n

As part of its ongoing work, Gambia Participates has been engaging citizens across the country to document public perceptions of corruption. Nyang revealed that the findings point to significant underreporting of corruption cases, with a detailed report expected to be released next week.<\/p>\n
