The first reading of the National Assembly Salaries and Pensions (Amendment) Bill, 2025, was tabled by nominated member Hon. Kebba Lang Fofana, who is expected to move a motion for the bill’s second reading in subsequent sittings of the National Assembly.

Kurang stated that these accountants did very little or no material work before their departure, and that the work was essentially completed by Gambian accountants.
Another notable point from Kurang’s testimony was the arrival of forensic accountants from an American firm. They reportedly worked with the Lead Counsel and were paid $1,500 per hour from funds donated by an American foundation.
Kurang justified his actions by emphasizing that the sales were conducted through open auctions, and the tractor was sold to the highest bidder.
And the commissioners wanted to rebuke me for making such a large profit. There were a few occasions where I sold tractors well above the reserve price, which led to heated debates with the commissioners."
When asked about the huge profits he made on some of the tractors above the reserve price, Kurang said: "I sold a tractor for D1, 250,000 paid by Jah oil in an open auction. The reserved price for that tractor was set at D75, 000 by a valuator appointed by the Commission.
