Lamin J. Gassama, a prosecution witness, yesterday told the court that the
Vice Chancellor of the Universityof The Gambia, Professor Muhammed Kah,
receives around D3.5 million as salary per annum.

Gassama was testifying in the trial of Dr Gumbo Touray, who is being tried
on a charge of giving false information at the Banjul Magistrates’ Court
before acting-Principal Magistrate Alagba.

He told the court that he is a narcotics officer attached to the Holgam Unit
of the National Drug Enforcement Agency (NDEA) at Kanifing, and that he
recognised the accused person.

Gassama added that on 2 April 2011, they received a directive from the
Office of the President to look into the allegations that were made by Dr
Gumbo Touray against the Vice Chancellor of the University of The Gambia.

Officer Gassama said that to ascertain the allegations, he was instructed by
his boss to further investigate, adding that during the investigations the
accused person provided the team of investigators with a letter addressed to
the UTG Vice Chancellor.

The witness was shown the said letter by the prosecutor, Chief
Superintendent Sainey Joof, which he recognized and the letter was admitted
and tendered as an exhibit without any objection from the defence counsel.

The letter, the witness added, itemized the salary of the UTG Vice
Chancellor, which he told the court is D3.5 million per annum excluding
other benefits such as house rent, school fees for his children, payment of
water and electricity bills and his maid’s pay.

Still testifying, officer Gassama stated that, after the investigation, a
report was written which was signed by the Director General of the NDEA,
Benedict Jammeh, and later forwarded to the relevant authorities.

The hearing at that juncture was adjourned to 25 August 2011.
