Since coming to power in 2012, Macky Sall has initiated controversial reforms, notably with the Court for the Repression of Illicit Enrichment, sparking accusations of unfair procedures against political opponents. Today, his successor, President Faye, is employing a similar strategy, aiming to dismantle illegal appropriations to rally public opinion. “We will destroy all illegal constructions”affirmed Colonel Papa Saboury Ndiaye, thus reinforcing the desire for transparency.
