Lutte contre la corruption : Le président de l'UMS prend fait et cause pour le Pool judiciaire financier
The president of the Union of Magistrates of Senegal (UMS), Cheikh Ba, defended the Financial Judicial Pool (PJF), arguing that this specialized jurisdiction addresses the need to strengthen the fight against economic and financial crime. A guest on the Sunday Jury (JDD) program on iTV, he also lamented the tendency to politicize judicial proceedings.
According to him, the Financial Judicial Pool is not a recent creation. "The Financial Judicial Pool was created well before. There were even initial appointments that were not confirmed with the change of power," he recalled, specifying that the magistrates currently in office were installed in September 2024.
Cheikh Ba explains that this jurisdiction specializes in handling complex financial cases requiring specific technical expertise. He emphasizes that several magistrates had received specialized training, particularly through cooperation with France, to prepare for the establishment of this structure. The president of the UMS also sought to reassure the public regarding the competence of the magistrates comprising the Financial Judicial Pool. He affirms that they possess recognized expertise and solid experience in managing economic and financial affairs.
Referring to the numerous appeals and legal proceedings fueling public debate, Cheikh Ba believes that judicial decisions should be assessed based on the law, not political considerations. He laments that every legal case gives rise to partisan interpretations.
According to the president of the UMS, the justice system must be allowed to work with complete independence. He reiterates that magistrates are obligated to apply the law and rule on the cases submitted to them, without political considerations or external pressure.
