He stole it, I bet.
>Mr Fatty told reporters in the Senegalese capital Dakar that The Gambia was in financial distress.
>"The coffers are virtually empty," he said. "It has been confirmed by technicians in the ministry of finance and the Central Bank of the Gambia."
>He said Mr Jammeh had made off with nearly 500 million dalasis ($11.3m) in the past two weeks alone.
>"That's a lot of money, considering that we spend about 200 million dalasis on required expenditure relating to payment of civil service and so forth," Mr Fatty told the BBC.
