Mbaye Dione wanted to set the record straight, in the face of accusations from Abdou Mbow, whom he accuses of having “ skewed the timeline “. According to the deputy, upon taking office at the head of the National Assembly, Moustapha Niasse never occupied this official residence, preferring to stay in his own home.
In 2017, a correspondence from the Minister of the Budget and the Director of Built Heritage proposed to hand over this house to a Senegalese, under conditions that Mr. Dione describes as ” blurry ».
However, Moustapha Niasse would have categorically refused, informing President Macky Sall of his disagreement with any alienation of this state property.
« Nothing justified such a sale and President Niasse held to this position until his departure in 2022 », he underlined, specifying that at that time, the house was still not sold, as evidenced by the transfer file with his successor, Amadou Mame Diop.
According to Mbaye Dione, the sale of the house was finalized in August 2024, two years after the departure of Moustapha Niasse from the presidency of the National Assembly. He denounced an operation carried out in “ opaque conditions » and which, according to him, was not validated by the National Assembly.
« This is a scandal that we strongly condemn. We demand that all light be shed on this matter », insisted the MP, calling for total transparency in the management of public property.
