The spokesman added that the decision was also aimed at minimising return visits by Jammeh. Another Barrow spokesman had alluded angrily to the luxury cars on Sunday, but did not say that the new president had agreed that Jammeh could leave with them. "No information or orders have been given by this new government to stop shipping the cars," the airport source told AFP. The news is likely to anger Gambians who have also learnt Jammeh took off with $11 million of state funds, leaving the coffers nearly empty.
