Timeline

2016

In December 2016, 11 ambassadors including Harding wrote a collective letter to The Gambia's then President, Yahya Jammeh, who had lost the 1 December election, but was refusing to accept defeat, to accept the result and stand down peacefully. In January 2017, Jammeh dismissed 12 ambassadors including Harding. In February 2017, Gambia's new President, Adama Barrow, reinstated the dismissed ambassadors.

2014

In December 2014, a "gang of Gambian diplomats" were found guilty at Southwark Crown Court of running a "tax-free tobacconist" from embassy premises in London for three years, and avoiding £5 million of tax. Seven people including the Deputy Head of the Gambian Diplomatic Mission, Yusupha Bojang, were found guilty. They had ordered 32 tonnes of tax-free rolling tobacco, and abused a scheme that provided a duty-free tax exemption on goods for personal use, even though none of them actually smoked. Harding appeared at the hearing, but was not a defendant, and said that she had used the scheme to buy perfume and rice, but had never talked about it with her staff, and only became aware of the abuse of diplomatic privilege after she was written to by the UK's Foreign & Commonwealth Office.
