Babucarr Fofana, former regional coordinator for the National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA) in Kuntaur, The Gambia, faced questioning over his handling of a 100,000-dalasi fund intended for COVID-19 relief. Fofana argued the funds were used for general disaster relief, citing major disasters in the region coinciding with the pandemic. The Local Government Commission of Inquiry is investigating the matter, with Lead Counsel Patrick Gomez asserting the funds were improperly accepted by the NDMA and demanding evidence of expenditures.
