Diamniadio, May 28 (APS) – The Head of State, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, reiterated, Tuesday, in Diamniadio (west), “the high priority” that he gives to consultation on public affairs.
”In accordance with the spirit of my inauguration speech, my message to the nation on the occasion of Independence Day and my orientations to the Council of Ministers on April 9, I reiterate today the priority high level that I attach to consultation on the mode of governance of public affairs,” he declared.
The Head of State presided over the official launch of the work of the national dialogue on the reform and modernization of justice, which is being held at the Abdou Diouf International Conference Center (CICAD) in Diamniadio, in the department of Rufisque.
The President of the National Assembly, the President of the Economic, Social and Environmental Council, the President of the Constitutional Council, several members of the government, local elected officials and the President of the High Council for Social Dialogue are taking part in this meeting.
Representatives of diplomatic missions accredited to Senegal, delegates from worker associations and organizations, experts, religious and customary guides are participating in the launch of the national dialogue on the reform and modernization of justice.
”It is a major event which will serve as a framework for the various actors to examine in depth our judicial system in order to improve it (…) The reflections must lead to concrete results, affecting various aspects of the judicial system,” wrote the Office of Government Information (BIG) in a note received by the APS.
The BIG ensures that the work will focus on themes as important as the status of magistrates, the organization and functioning of the Superior Council of the Judiciary, the conditions of detention and preparation for the social reintegration of prisoners, the regime of deprivation freedom, care for children in danger or in conflict with the law, etc.
”By choosing to go through dialogue to find solutions to justice problems, despite strong legitimacy (54.28% of the vote) and a project acclaimed by the Senegalese, President Bassirou Diomaye Faye is doing more than demonstrating its attachment to the deep values of peace and democracy. It perpetuates a very Senegalese tradition,” comments the Government Information Office.
The BIG recalls that to meet the challenge of modernizing Senegalese justice, the Head of State has mobilized the entire nation. From institutions to citizens, including the media and civil society.
