Gambian authorities have sacked 27 government officials
including 10 permanent secretaries on suspicion of having fraudulently acquired
official cars and other items, state television said on Tuesday.
The officials are being investigated by the National
Intelligence Agency, a government source said. President Yahya Jammeh has ruled
Gambia, a small country almost encircled by Senegal, for two decades since seizing
power in a bloodless coup, Reuters report.
Gambia is due to hold
elections in December, when Jammeh will run for a fifth term.
