The development came during the testimony of Mr. Nyang and Finance Manager Bakary Dibba, as the commission scrutinizes expenditures and project records from 2018 to January 2023.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>There was an appeal by Mr. Nyang to retrieve vouchers held by a colleague, citing time constraints. The commission chairperson, however, expressed frustration, noting that the documents had been repeatedly requested and were available, stressing that the delay appeared designed to stall proceedings. These vouchers are part of the funds secured within the mandate of the commission. Delaying their production is very dishonest,\u201d the chairperson told the witness.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the heated exchange, the chairperson granted Mr. Nyang a final window to collect and produce the remaining vouchers by the afternoon session, warning of potential contempt proceedings had he failed to comply.<\/p>\n<p>During his testimony, Mr. Nyang outlined his educational background, including a master\u2019s degree in development and certifications in environmental management and humanitarian law. He detailed his appointment as project director, following an open tender and interview process in early 2022, and listed key members of the KETP project management team, including project and finance officers.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Nyang confirmed that, upon assuming his role, the KMC account was the only operational bank account for project funds. He also acknowledged being a signatory to project accounts, ensuring oversight of fund disbursements and expenditures.<\/p>\n<p>The project\u2019s finance manager, Mr. Dibba, corroborated these details, noting that his appointment followed a formal interview process by the council\u2019s establishment committee. He confirmed the submission of statements dated 12th and 24th September 2025, which were admitted as exhibits.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Nyang also submitted a letter to the commission requesting clarification regarding documentation from February 2023 to date, suggesting it might fall outside the commission\u2019s mandate. The chairperson rejected this reasoning, emphasizing that the funds in question fell squarely within the commission\u2019s oversight.<\/p>\n<p>The commission has made clear that any future delays or perceived obstructions will be met with strict measures.<\/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.
