The Gambia government's concession agreement with Turkish company Albayrak for the management of the Banjul Seaport and the development of a Deep Seaport in Sanyang has been marred by irregularities, according to an investigation by The Alkamba Times. The report raises concerns about the bidding process, Albayrak’s qualifications, and the government’s decision-making, with allegations that the contract was awarded despite Albayrak failing to meet all bid requirements. The investigation also reveals financial and managerial disputes within the Albayrak-Negmar Consortium, and allegations of corruption and mismanagement in Albayrak's past engagements in other African countries.
