On October 9, 2009 after Lang Tombong Tamba’s dismissal (he was later tried and sentenced to execution for Treason), Jammeh appointed Kinteh as the Chief of the Defence Staff. In the same year Yankuba Drammeh was promoted to the rank of Deputy Chief of Defence Staff, but shortly after , he was dismissed from the position. Kinteh was dismissed as the Chief of the Defence Staff by Jammeh on the 6th of July, 2012. In the week prior to his being dismissed, Kinteh was interrogated in the presence of intelligence personnel, however they did not get any answers from their interrogations.
