The Gambia Institute of Chartered Accountants (GICA) on Tuesday announced that it has removed Paul J Gaye as its leader “due to lack of confidence in his leadership”.

“At this meeting, an overwhelming majority of members in good standing resolved that Paul J Gaye should be removed as president with immediate effect due to lack of confidence in his leadership and that the remaining members stay on and manage the affairs of the council and that an annual general meeting be held within 90 days. In light of this decision, Mr Gaye can therefore not present himself as president or chairman of GICA effective 21st June, 2025,” Janko said in the statement.
