During her testimony, she disclosed that Alpha Kapital Advisory, a company co-owned by Alpha Barry\u2014the appointed receiver of Jammeh\u2019s assets\u2014has not been filing its tax returns.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the look of things, well, it would appear that he has not been filing his tax returns,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to questions from committee member Hon. Omar Jammeh of Janjanbureh, Gomez said she had not seen any record of tax filings or correspondence from Alpha Kapital in the Registrar\u2019s office. She added that she could not confirm whether any had been submitted in the past.<\/p>\n<p>When asked whether her office had received a notification from Alpha Kapital regarding Barry\u2019s appointment as receiver, Gomez explained that she was not yet the registrar at the time such a letter should have been received. However, Hon. Jammeh dismissed this as an insufficient explanation, stating that the office\u2014not the individual\u2014was responsible for maintaining such records.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, I have not made any efforts to follow up with him, understanding that it is a normal requirement for a receiver to notify your office about his or her appointment,\u201d Gomez admitted.<\/p>\n<p>She further explained that inconsistencies in company names within the corporate registry have made it difficult to accurately track Alpha Kapital\u2019s records. Gomez outlined that once a company is incorporated, any subsequent changes\u2014such as a name change or board resolutions\u2014must be accompanied by a new name reservation and updated documentation, including amended memoranda.<\/p>\n<p>The committee also questioned whether the list of companies submitted by the registrar included any mining firms linked to Jammeh or his associates. Gomez responded that she would need to review the relevant memoranda or certificates of incorporation to confirm such details.<\/p>\n<p>At one point, Hon. Jammeh accused the witness of withholding information from the committee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonorable, what benefit will I derive from concealing evidence or whatsoever, knowing the nature of this committee and what your mandate is? What benefit will I derive from that?\u201d Gomez retorted.<\/p>\n<p>The committee directed Gomez to provide the names of all mining companies associated with Jammeh and their registered owners at a later date.<\/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.
