The Mahoney Commission

In 2010 following complaints of corruption and a lack of transparency in the allocation of land in the country, President Yahya Jammeh appointed Basiru Mahoney to chair a Presidential Commission of Inquiry into land allocation in The Gambia.[5] The Commission heard public testimony for 7 months and presented its report to the President on 23 June 2011.[6] The inquiry uncovered illegal sales and allocations of land and led to major reforms in the Land allocation system in The Gambia.[6][7][8]
