The unlawful removal of the Auditor General violates Sections 158 and 160 of the 1997 Constitution, which set clear rules for removal and guarantee the independence of the Office. No tribunal was appointed, no due process was followed, and police interference directly undermines the integrity of a key state institution.

The Office of the Auditor General is central to accountability, transparency, and the fight against corruption. Weakening this office erodes public trust and threatens democratic governance.

As Section 5 of the Constitution states, every Gambian has the duty to defend the Constitution against unlawful subversion. This petition is our way of upholding that duty.
