The Ministry noted that it is awaiting details on livestock transactions from the Sheriff’s Division, including the identities of buyers and sale prices, which will be made public once received.
Authorities emphasised their commitment to transparency and the public’s right to information, reiterating the national importance of holding former leaders accountable.
Jammeh, who ruled from 1994 to 2017, left The Gambia under ECOWAS military pressure following his refusal to concede defeat in the 2016 presidential election.
