Gambia’s President Adama Barrow said former ruler Yahya Jammeh has ransacked the country’s treasury leaving less than US$1 before he went to exile in Equatorial Guinea.
The former authoritarian ruler also airlifted premium vehicles and other luxuries out of the West African nation on Saturday.
“There is no money in the coffers. It’s what we have been told, but the day we actually take office, I will take a look at all the documents and evidence and we will clarify all of it,” President Barrow said.
But even as Jammeh left the country insolvent, he was given an extraordinary set of assurances from the international community, which were rejected ‘outright’ by President Barrow.
Barrow promised to look into the matter as soon as he returns to Banjul.
