Here is his entire message.
Why validate investment expenditure if the “sincerity” of your budget already guarantees “sufficient and well-estimated resources in accordance with well-considered, well-evaluated and high-impact investment expenditure”, as has been pompously stated in the law Finance?
Was it not you, Ousmane, who had engaged the responsibility of your government by telling us on page 18 of the LFI 2025 that: “The programming of investment expenditure gives priority to those which are aligned with the new political orientations, which contribute to its objectives and which have a high content in terms of gross fixed capital formation, in order to strengthen the stock of fixed assets necessary to achieve the objectives set by the Agenda”?
Wasn’t it you who informed us that you had deleted all projects unrelated to the “Project”? So, Koromack, you have already validated all the investment expenses that you yourself programmed in the budget! If your estimates of budgetary resources are truly sincere, let your ministers proceed under the supervision of the minister in charge of the Budget.
I would also like to inform you that we are in the implementation phase of the transposition of the directives of the harmonized framework of public finances within the UEMOA, which establishes the era of the program budget and management based on results, with increased accountability of program managers who thus inherit the function of authorizing expenditure. By centralizing the validation of capital expenditures, you risk undermining the effectiveness of program managers, hindering the decentralization of responsibilities, reducing the flexibility and adaptability necessary in a results-oriented system, and thus adding to the bureaucracy.
The role of program managers would therefore be limited, which could reduce their responsibility for achieving objectives. With this decision, it would no longer be necessary to sign performance contracts with them; from now on, the State should be content to sign with Ousmane Sonko, alpha and omega of State investment.
