There are more than 500 Postal workers who risk losing their plots of land at Lac Rose in the commune of Tivaouane Peulh. The Housing Cooperative And Tabax Kër (Chatak) is heavily impacted by the construction project of the Northern Clearance Route (VDN) 3, the right of which crosses its two sites of 550 plots allocated mainly to Post Office workers.
Wearing red armbands and scarves, hundreds of people, these hundreds of mothers and fathers, including retirees, took over the site of the plots and housing in question to show their anger and appeal to the new authorities to look into the situation. question and clarify it before making any decision. These impacted, disoriented agents still claim not to understand why the route of the vdn 3 construction project was integrated into their site when the initial route was far away. “This is following the press release from the Prefecture of Rufisque dated October 13, 2024 and the passages reported on the cooperative’s sites by the delegations of the Departmental Commission for Census and Evaluation of Expenses (C.DR.EX ) chaired by the Prefect of the Rufisque Department that the Chatak Office undertook epistolary exchanges with the administrative authorities. These exchanges and plans of their sites superimposed with the latest route of the VDN received from the services of AGEROUTE, is clearly. established that the two sites of the Cooperative are heavily impacted, it is important to point out that the initial route of the VDN did not pass through our sites”, reported the victims in the document signed by the cooperative, pointing out that the initial route of the VDN did not appear on their sites. Indeed, they continue in the document, “choices have already been made on other sites before ours. We are unaware of the real reasons and foundations of these route changes and doubt their objectivity. We remain convinced and convinced that our sites were the subject of premeditated targeting,” lamented Saliou Gning, administrative secretary of cooperation who aims for “a postman a roof over his head”.
Still on this register, they regret the cessation of the ongoing projects by the administrative authorities who shattered the legitimate dream of more than 500 beneficiaries including retirees, calling into question 12 years of savings and sacrifices of the valiant postal workers already tested by the difficulties of La Poste. Faced with this situation, they say, “Chatak pleads with the State’s financial partners involved in this VDN construction project for correct management of the social, economic and financial consequences of more than 500 households constituted of La Poste workers; Calls on the new Government and particularly the ministerial departments in charge of housing, estates and roads to explore the possibilities of bypassing our sites failing to guarantee collegial management of this file taking into account the heavy inconvenience of the impacted populations”, demanded the employees of the post office, thus calling on His Excellency the President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Faye not to sign the transferability decree relating to the VOR construction project without a thorough examination of this file and prior compensation for harm suffered by impacted populations.
