Ousmane Diagne is expected. Where his predecessor Ismaïla Madior Fall had chosen not to instruct public prosecutors to prosecute the people implicated in the 2022 Ofnac report, he will have to do so.
Judicial sources tell Bés bi that the Dakar Prosecutor’s Office received “on July 8, 2023, a letter from Ofnac implicating people and recommending prosecutions against them for real acts of misappropriation of public funds.”
However, since then, the attorneys general, who receive orders from the Minister of Justice, have not taken any action in this direction, which has blocked the summons of the people involved. Today, the public prosecutor’s offices concerned are waiting for prosecution orders to take action. For the Diourbel region, this is the investigation report of the complaint against the mayor of Ndindy, Cheikh Seck or the Ibrahima Thiam case against the president of the Chamber of Trades of Diourbel.
And finally, there is a collective of municipal councilors who submitted the Ofnac investigation report to the competent judicial authority.
