Auditor General Modou Ceesay has denied claims that he had initially accepted a ministerial post.
In a letter dated 14 September 2025, Mr Ceesay called the claims “untrue.”
He said: “I hereby affirm that I was not informed about the offered appointment prior to receiving the letter of appointment. I neither accepted it verbally nor in writing.” he said.
He revealed that he immediately rejected the offer upon receiving it on 10 September: “I swiftly rejected the offer the same day and formalized my decline through my letter dated 11 September 2025.”.
Mr Ceesay stressed that he remains committed to his duties as Auditor General, vowing:“I therefore remain committed to my constitutional duties as the Auditor General, maintaining the principles of transparency, accountability and good governance.”.
