The Basse Area Council (BSAC) announced on August 6, 2024, the dismissal of its acting Chief Executive Officer, Bai Gibbi Sillah, due to the unauthorized withdrawal of D50,000 from the council’s accounts.
Last year, the BSAC General Council passed a resolution recommending the removal of the acting CEO for unlawfully withdrawing D50,000 from the council accounts. However, the council failed to act on the recommendation until recently.
The council has stated to The Standard, notifying the public that following a thorough investigation and consultations with relevant authorities, Bai Gibbi Sillah, the acting CEO, has been dismissed from his position and has immediately departed from the council. This decision exemplifies the council’s commitment to maintaining a corruption-free organization and its dedication to upholding integrity, transparency, accountability, and responsible leadership principles. It also signifies the council’s resolve to address existing challenges and re-establish trust and confidence in its financial management and leadership practices, as informed by the office.
