Nouakchott, January 14 (APS) – Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko announced, Monday, in Nouakchott, that he had received the report from the Court of Auditors on the “voluntarily hidden slippages” in public finances by Macky Sall and some of his collaborators.
”I received the report from the Court of Auditors yesterday. Soon things will be clear. The Senegalese will soon know the extent of the waste,” Mr. Sonko said during a meeting with Senegalese living in Mauritania.
Last August, the President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, questioned the management of public finances of his predecessor, Macky Sall.
He denounced ”deliberately hidden slippages” and ”an uncontrolled evolution of the payroll, the debt and the interest on the debt”.
The Court of Auditors was asked to verify the alleged ”slippages”.
Ousmane Sonko arrived in Nouakchott on Sunday evening for a two-day official visit devoted to energy, transport, security and migration.
For this visit, also known as friendship and work, he is accompanied by several ministers, including Yassine Fall, in charge of African Integration and Foreign Affairs, and Jean Baptiste Tine, that of the Interior and Public Security.
Birame Souleye Diop, the Minister of Energy, Oil and Mines, Yankhoba Diémé, the Minister of Infrastructure, Land and Air Transport, and Fatou Diouf, the Minister of Fisheries, Maritime and Port Infrastructure, are taking part.
The delegation led by Ousmane Sonko also includes the directors general of the National Agency responsible for the promotion of investments and major works, Bakary Séga Bathily, and of the Société des Petroles du Senegal, Alioune Guèye.
