Gambian President Adama Barrow is set to speak to the nation this Wednesday, following an emergency cabinet meeting over the controversial sale of former leader Yahya Jammeh’s assets.

Public outrage has surged in recent weeks, with citizens questioning the transparency and legality of asset disposals linked to the exiled former president. Jammeh, who fled the country in 2017, left behind vast properties now at the center of debate.

The Ministry of Information confirmed Barrow’s upcoming address, aimed at calming tensions and clarifying the government’s stance on the matter.

The scandal has sparked nationwide concern, with calls for full disclosure, accountability, and an independent probe into the sale process.
