n President Adama Barrow has announced Thursday the launching of a commission of inquiry into the assets of the former president Yahya Jammeh, barely two months after his assets were frozen.

"Giving the sensitive nature of this task at hand and the high expectation of the public, I encourage all commission members to deliver efficiently and effectively with a high sense of discipline and honesty," he added.
Jammeh ruled Gambia for 22 years and was accused of committing atrocities and also stealing millions from state coffers.
