Is there a requirement for a company to appoint a company secretary in Gambia?

Yes. It is a statutory requirement under section 237 of the Act that every company that operates in The Gambia must have a company secretary. Directors must take all reasonable steps to ensure that the secretary is appointed; otherwise, if a company carries on business for more than a month without a secretary, every officer of the company in default commits an offence and is liable to a fine not exceeding GMD 200 for each day the breach continues.
