Gambian MPs will on Monday kick off a four-day site tour mission across the country to track down properties tied to former dictator Yahya Jammeh.

The tour, running from 1–4 September, follows evidence from 17 witnesses who spoke about the sale and disposal of Jammeh’s once vast empire.

The lawmakers will be going straight to the sites to see what remains and who really owns them.

They will inspect everything from luxury homes and farms to commercial buildings, many of which were seized by the state after Jammeh fled to Equatorial Guinea in 2017.

The Janneh Commission’s report suggested that some of these assets may have been mismanaged or illegally sold.

“It’s time to see the truth for ourselves,” said a committee said. “We need to know if assets were properly handled or if the state has been short-changed.”

The MPs’ findings will go into a report for parliament, which could lead to fresh action to recover state property and ensure accountability.

Jammeh’s 22-year rule left a legacy of alleged corruption and abuse.

This field mission will mark a major step in uncovering the fate of his assets and bringing clarity to the public about what became of the former president’s wealth.
