Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Fatou Drammeh, Assistant Secretary General of the Janneh Commission, has told the National Assembly\u2019s Select Committee on the sale and disposal of former president Yahya Jammeh\u2019s assets that she does not believe there was any conflict of interest when government staff and auction team members purchased vehicles and other items during the disposal process.<\/b><\/p>\n

Testifying before lawmakers, Drammeh explained that at the time, no guidelines existed to prevent staff or auction team members from taking part in the sales.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was no policy, no procedure, like anything separating that. Like teams or this particular group of people should not or cannot buy, there were no such guidelines in place regarding who can buy and who cannot buy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She acknowledged that some buyers included government officials and auction team members, but insisted their participation followed due process.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo my knowledge, I don\u2019t see any conflict that occurred from these particular people because, one, they were not the ones determining the prices; to my knowledge, what I can recall, they followed the due process as other buyers. The ones that they wanted, they also followed the same process, going to the accountant to pay as others were paying,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Drammeh also confirmed that Jah Oil Company was among the buyers and that the company acquired some vehicles. She testified that Jah Oil Company purchased a Mercedes-Benz MK14 that had a reserve price of 20,000 dalasis but was ultimately sold for 18,000 dalasis\u2014below the reserve price.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a Mercedes-Benz MK14. It was bought by the Jah Oil Company. The reserve price was 20,000, and then it was bought for 18. It was bought for below the reserve price,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She further explained that certain assets were sold under their reserve price due to poor condition and low demand.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing I remember that the auctioneer was doing, if he wanted to sell anything below the reserve price, he would try not to go too low, and then, because, like I said, the condition was strong enough, also we do not want to leave anything behind; things behind like that would just be a loss because they were already scrapped,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
