Questions have emerged over the ownership of a Chinese-funded bridge in The Gambia after authorities suddenly imposed a toll fee on users, one year after its inauguration.
The bridge, which was inaugurated in October last year, was mostly funded with Chinese money. But it was presented at the time as a grant from China to the people of the West African nation.
