Mr. Lamin Susso, a Warrant Officer Class 2 (WO2) and senior State Guard, on Tuesday appeared before the National Assembly Special Select Committee investigating the sale and disposal of former President Yahya A.J.J. Jammeh’s assets identified by the Janneh Commission.
Mr. Susso was questioned about his assignment to the Mechanical Services Agency (MSA) and his role in handling vehicles recovered from former President Jammeh’s assets.
In his testimony, he detailed the process of recovery and inventory management of vehicles kept at the MSA. The Committee raised concerns over discrepancies in vehicle records and the lack of clear documentation and dates regarding their movement.
Mr. Susso admitted that he maintained two separate records, one listing vehicles stored at the MSA and another for those transferred to other locations.
He informed the Committee that he was assigned to the MSA primarily for record-keeping purposes. When asked whether he was aware of any incidents of theft at the agency, he replied that he was not.
Regarding reports of vehicle cannibalisation (removal of parts for reuse), Mr. Susso confirmed that such cases occurred but stated that he did not know who had authorised the practice.
