the approved and adopted report of the 2011 Joint Session of the Public
Accounts Committee and Public Enterprises Committee of the National
Assembly on the Annual Reports and Financial Statements of public
enterprises and agencies has discovered the embezzlement of millions of
dalasis at the AMRC.

The release further stated that the managing director of the corporation
Abdoulie Tamba, who is mainly responsible for the misappropriation, has
decided to abscond and is now at large.

“By this release, Tamba is urged to surrender himself to the nearest police
station or face arrest,” the release said, while urging members of the
public who have recently seen Abdoulie Tamba to report such sighting to the
nearest police station.

Meanwhile, the Gambia armed forces has also announced that one Lance

Battalion in Yundum, has stolen four sheep at President Jammeh’s Farato
Farm .

stated that the incident occurred on Wednesday 22nd August 2012, and that
the suspect is currently on the run.

“Anyone who has information on the whereabouts of the suspect should report
it to the nearest police station or military barracks. Investigations are
still ongoing and the Gambia Armed Forces Command hereby vehemently
condemns behaviour of such nature, which is unprofessional to say the
least,” the release added.
