Two Men Jailed For Theft At Revenue Authority
By Bubacarr K. Sowe
Two men have been sent to jail without the option of a fine for stealing and receiving copies of tax clearance at the Gambia Revenue Authority (GRA) on Friday, February 29.
Patrick Paul Gomez was sentenced to six months imprisonment for stealing by clerk and Kawsu Bojang was sentenced to seven months imprisonment for receiving stolen property. Magistrate Kayode Olajubutu in his judgment said the accused persons are first offenders and that had prevented the court from imposing a maximum punishment.
Mr. Gomez, an employee of the GRA at the deputy commission of income tax office, was charged with stealing eleven books of income tax clearance disc for 2008 which are valued at D50, 000 on 8 February 2008.
Mr. Bojang at Lasso Wharf in Banjul, is charged with receiving eleven books of income tax clearance disc for 2008 from Mr. Gomez on 8 of February 2007.
Both men are residents of Lamin Village, Kombo North. They all pleaded guilty to their charges.
