The ex-CEO at the Basse Area Council has told the Local Government Commission of Inquiry that former finance director Lamin Suso used to forge his signatures.
Ousman Touray said that he reported the matter to the auditors during the system audit exercise. He produced a cheque dated 6 October 2022 to the Commission, showing that the former director of finance, Lamin Suso forged his signature.
The witness responded that the council accounts were empty, and there was a rumour that the revenue collectors were not depositing the monies they collected. "The ones he brought were not the government-printed invoices. They were never used because I never accepted them," Ousman Touray said.
