criticism

Touray's appointment as general secretary and head of public service was criticized on social media, as Touray was considered one of the close confidants of ex-President Yahya Jammeh , he served as cabinet secretary during the Jammeh regime. He was accused of corruption by the Janneh Commission . The commission, which examined the financial dealings of Jammeh and his close confidants, found that Touray and dozens of other individuals had corrupt practices in handling public money.

The chairman of the Gambia Moral Congress (GMC), lawyer Mai Fatty , criticized the appointment as not being constitutional. According to his opinion, according to the Gambian Constitution, only the person who had previously worked in the public service may be appointed as Secretary General and Head of the Public Service. Fatty does not question Touray's qualifications and extensive civil service experience.
