Pope Malick Ndour, former Minister of Youth, Entrepreneurship and Employment under Macky Sall, brought the reply to former deputy Sanou Dione who argued that the account of the 1000 billion announced by Ousmane Sonko “belongs to former President Macky Sall”. In an interview with the newspaper Les Echos, Mr. Ndour said that these allegations have “no serious basis”.
Pope Malick Ndour underlined the fact that the accusation of an alleged bank account of 1000 billion CFA francs was launched by Ousmane Sonko, who no longer talks about it, “as if he had achieved the enormity or the emptiness of his remarks”. In addition, according to the former Minister of Macky Sall, Sanou Dione by his words, tries to give a justification by identifying his so-called owner, without “no serious basis or concrete proof”.
He considered that this kind of exit from members and allies of the current regime poses a serious problem of “credibility of the word of our leaders”. “It is neither serious nor responsible”. Pope Malick Ndour thus recalled that there is, to date, no concrete element, no document, no credible legal procedure which confirms these declarations. According to this, this is only a strategy of creating confusion in relation to the case relating to, PDIE and CAP/government accounts mentioned by the Court of Auditors.
The former Minister of Youth considers the fact that this account is mentioned in the report, as being an error on the part of the Court of Auditors, because it is according to him an account put in place by “presidential decree and executed according to the methods set by this same decree”.
As such, he says, he has exactly the same legal value as any other regulatory system of the State, including decree n ° 978-2020 relating to general regulations on public accounting.
