"We hear concerns about the need for greater transparency"

Gambia's Yahya Jammeh surprised the world on 2 December 2016 by accepting that he had lost elections to the relatively unknown Adama Barrow. With less than a year to go before the next elections, the reviews so far of the Barrow administration have been mixed, with corruption as one of the issue on the lips of many Gambians. Focus on Africa's Esau Williams has been speaking to the United States Ambassador to The Gambia, Richard Carlton Paschall III. He started by asking him his views on allegations of corruption in the Barrow administration.
