Affaire Intermaq : la balle est dans le camp de…
In an interview with L'Observateur, the Minister of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty, and Livestock, Cheikhou Oumar Bâ, revealed that the Intermaq affair, like all the cases reeking of financial scandal inherited from his predecessor, Mabouba Diagne, will be dealt with appropriately. "Regarding the suspicions of oversaturation and irregularities in the markets, I can tell you that all previous contracts concerning agricultural mechanization have been audited by the Court of Auditors and the General State Inspectorate (IGE)," he stated. "All recommendations, proposals, and decisions accompanied by these reports will be implemented in accordance with the applicable administrative and legal provisions. As for the Intermaq case, it is currently under the authority of the State Judicial Agent."
The Intermaq case concerns the contract for the supply of agricultural equipment and the construction of a workshop and agricultural warehouses. Upon examining this case, the Court of Auditors noted that the winning Spanish company, Intermaq 2012 SL, paid Intermaq Sénégal SA, its local service provider, 16,425,077,000 CFA francs, which is 358% more than the invoice amount for the corresponding deliverables.
Part of these funds was allegedly given to Saïdou Amadou Kane, the administrator of Intermaq Senegal. Ferdinand Coly, former coordinator of the Senegalese subsidiary of the Spanish company, revealed to the auditors that he alone had given Kane 7.2 billion "without knowing the destination [of said] funds."
During its investigations, the Court of Auditors noted that significant amounts were taken from Saïdou Amadou Kane's personal account at FBN Bank and paid into those of his wife (1.3 billion CFA francs), his two minor children (500 million CFA francs each) and his driver (567 million CFA francs).
