Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko firmly reaffirmed his position on the fight against corruption and the misappropriation of public funds, during the parliamentary session of Friday December 27, 2024, during which Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko presented his Declaration of General Policy (DPG).
When speaking, Ousmane Sonko raised a hot and particularly sensitive subject: the management of public finances. According to him, in the days to come, the Court of Auditors will release its report, a highly anticipated document which could have serious consequences for certain public officials. “All those who embezzled the people’s money will pay dearly,” declared the Senegalese Prime Minister, stressing that those who made mistakes in the management of public funds will have to be held accountable.
These comments are a reminder of political tensions on issues of good governance and transparency in the management of public funds. The Prime Minister took this opportunity to insist that no impunity would be tolerated. “I want to say it here in the National Assembly,” he added, reaffirming his commitment to fair justice and responsible governance.
Sonko’s statement comes as the Court of Auditors’ report could highlight irregularities and embezzlement in the use of public funds. This announcement could have a major impact, both on the Senegalese political scene and on citizens’ confidence in public institutions.
In this context, Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko emphasized the need to ensure total transparency and rigorous treatment of cases of corruption, with a view to restoring the confidence of the Senegalese people in their leaders and institutions. The message is clear: the management of public finances must be impeccable, and those responsible for any mismanagement will be held accountable for their actions.
