His newly appointed Minister of Trade, Mr. Bakary Jammeh, has declined the offer and is challenging the legality of his removal as Governor of the Central Bank of The Gambia.
In the letter, Mr Jammeh reportedly informed the President of his decision to humbly decline the offer of minister and at the same time reminded him that he still has an existing contract as governor for the period of 5 years under section 18, (3[ of the central Bank of the Gambia Act, 2018.
Under the said section, the Governor is appointed by a contract of 5 years and is not transferable and the holder of the position can resign but only after giving a three months notice. Also according to the section, the President may remove the Governor but only after setting up an independent tribunal to investigate and report to the president .
Mr Jammeh is also reported to have informed the president that his training is as an econometrician and financial expert among other things and would therefore not serve his country well as a Trade minister........ |
