The United Democratic Party (UDP) has accused President Adama Barrow’s government of failing to publish a full account of assets seized from former leader Yahya Jammeh, despite earlier pledges.

The government promised full disclosure following protests in May, led by the group Gambians Against Looted Assets (GALA).

Protesters demanded transparency over the sale of Jammeh’s confiscated assets, including luxury vehicles, real estate and livestock.

The Ministry of Justice later released a partial list, but it omitted key details such as buyer identities and sale prices.

The UDP claims some assets were sold below market value and alleges that politically connected individuals may have benefited.

High-value items, including Jammeh’s Rolls-Royce and Bentley, remain unaccounted for.

The government says a National Assembly inquiry is underway.

However, the UDP argues this is a delaying tactic, noting that no further disclosures have come from the receivers, including Augustus Prom Audit Tax Advisory and the Sheriff Division.

The party is calling for the immediate release of full transaction details, independent oversight of the sale process, and prosecution of any officials involved in undervalued or conflicted sales.

The Janneh Commission in 2019 found Jammeh looted more than $360 million. Yet recovery efforts have faced repeated setbacks, with audit reports citing missing funds and irregularities. No senior officials have been held accountable.

The UDP said that without full transparency, Gambia’s transition from dictatorship remains incomplete.
