Jammeh pressed Commissioner Abioseh George of the Janneh Commission to clarify details about a payment arrangement with Augustus Prom &amp; Co., the firm managing assets placed under receivership.<\/p>\n<p>Hon. Jammeh asked whether the receiver was drawing a fixed salary of 1 million dalasis per month or collecting a 10 percent commission on gross revenue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMs. George, can you look at paragraph 15 of your statement? Because here you are very specific on the one million per month,\u201d Jammeh said.<\/p>\n<p>Commissioner George responded that the figure reflected information available at the time. \u201cAt the time of the meeting, it was roughly around one million,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The hearing grew heated when Chairperson Ceesay interjected, noting that the 10 percent commission was based on monthly revenue. Hon. Jammeh, however, insisted he was seeking a direct response from the witness, not from the chair.<\/p>\n<p>Chairperson Ceesay cautioned Jammeh against interrupting. \u201cPlease don\u2019t do that. What I said was very correct\u2014I said ten percent after that person provides us clarity,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy intervention is not to stop you from asking the question,\u201d Ceesay added.<\/p>\n<p>With tensions escalating, Jammeh turned off his microphone and addressed the chair. \u201cMy mic is off. I will allow you to have that discussion because I definitely know what I am looking for, and I have read between the lines. I\u2019m just stating my point,\u201d Jammeh said.<\/p>\n<p>The confrontation intensified to the point that parliamentary staff intervened, switching off microphones and briefly halting the live broadcast to restore order before the session resumed.<\/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.
