VP blames poor records, institutional changes for audit delays

Vice President Muhammed B.S. Jallow has attributed delays in implementing some National Audit Office recommendations to institutional changes and weaknesses in government record-keeping. Speaking at the National Assembly during oral questions on Wednesday, Jallow said the government had fully implemented 17 of 30 audit recommendations covering the period 2023 to 2025, while seven were currently being implemented and six were only partially implemented. Asked why some recommendations had taken so long to be fully implemented, the Vice President said the reasons differed depending on the nature of each recommendation.
