Commission d’enquête : Cheikh Oumar Anne décline l’invitation et recadre vigoureusement la majorité parlementaire
Cheikh Oumar Anne, the former Minister of Higher Education, will not appear before the parliamentary commission of inquiry established to investigate the "One Student, One Computer" program. He has made this decision.
The former minister cited "reasons of principle, republican decency, the requirement of legitimacy and impartiality, but also respect for institutions" to decline the invitation from the chairman of the said commission.
Sheikh Oumar Anne notably mentioned the requirement of legitimacy and respect for institutions which, in his opinion, "cannot be subject to variable geometry", while he "demands exemplary conduct, rigor and responsibility from everyone", he declares.
The former minister also evoked "republican decency and respect for the parliamentary chamber." He recalled that in 2022, a member of the committee had "distinguished himself in a deplorable and vile manner," by "climbing onto the tables in the chamber and violently snatching the ballot box in front of the Senegalese people, thus desecrate the parliamentary function." The mayor of Ndioum stated that the National Assembly is not a boxing ring.
“Similarly, to call the former President of the Republic a criminal and members of the Government thieves, without any judicially established evidence, is absurd. And to want to present oneself today as a champion of republican exemplarity, after having normalized invective and violence in public debate, is to insult the intelligence of the Senegalese people,” he asserts.
Next, Mr. Anne emphasizes that a commission of inquiry must be impartial and credible. While stating his conviction and fundamental commitment to parliamentary oversight, which he considers an essential instrument of transparency and accountability, he stresses that "this requirement for oversight must neither be a tool for settling political scores nor become a means of selectively stigmatizing those who served the State admirably under the previous administration." For him, "the selective nature of commissions of inquiry is an aberration."
Sheikh Oumar Anne also believes that parliamentary oversight must be "transparent and fair." According to him, if the majority intends to demonstrate its commitment to good governance, it must begin "by subjecting the management of the National Assembly itself to accountability."
In his opinion, several subjects deserve an objective and unbiased examination. He cites in particular the quarterly publication of the National Assembly's budget expenditures, "the scandal of the acquisition of vehicles" by the institution, and "the scandal of the five billion CFA francs intended for the so-called victims of the events that occurred between 2021 and 2024."
To this list is added the case of the eight billion CFA francs intended for the victims of the Bakel, Matam, Podor and surrounding areas, the use of which he considers opaque. He also mentions "the 37 billion CFA franc scandal of the ASER affair," as well as "the JAMM fund scandal for peace in Casamance (1.7 billion CFA francs), the use and possible changes in allocation by the former Prime Minister must be clarified," he asserts.
For Cheikh Oumar Anne, a commission of inquiry only gains the trust of citizens if it is as demanding of the current majority as it was of its predecessors.
Regarding the "One student, one computer" program, the former director general of the Centre for University Works (Coud) believes that "if the commission of inquiry is only interested in the truth, it could have limited itself to the documentation already available relating to this program, in particular the partnership agreement and the procedures provided for."
He therefore clarified to the chairman of the said committee that his decision stemmed "neither from a refusal of parliamentary oversight," nor from a desire to "evade the obligation to be accountable." "It reflects a need for consistency between the republican principles I uphold and the conditions under which this process is undertaken," he explained.

Si le Président de la république et son premier ministre peuvent contourner le vote d'une loi ou le contrôle de l action gouvernementale à quoi sert l assemblée nationale dans l architecture institutionnelle du pays
Cela veut dire qu il y a du sabotage du je m en foutisme quelque part ou la démocratie a montré ses limites tout court ou n est pas faite pour le Sénégal et qu il est temps de passer à autre chose beaucoup plus sérieux dans ce grand pauvre petit pays.
Du jamais vu des gens veulent s enrichir de nos pauvres deniers publics avec circulez il n y a rien à voir
Si Diomaye en ces temps qui courent dort à poings fermés et a la conscience tranquille j'espère que non alors il y a un sérieux et gros problème l heure est grave les gars !
Mais Allah est un "Ami" du Sénégal et de ses érudits et IL les aime beaucoup. Alhamdoulillah !!!
Bravo
Loo ragal ? Ko kouldaa ??? 😂
On s'en fiche de savoir si le justicier est le vainqueur ou le perdant ... on parle justice et seulement justice.
c'est parce qu'on est des comploteurs dans la malfaisance qu'on parle de pardon.
Si on exécutait systématique tous les détourneurs de deniers publics, il n'y aurait plus aucun bâtard au Sénégal depuis longtemps... ce sont des gens qui ne comprennent pas que le fait de détourner même 1000 fcfa de l'argent public, entraîne l'appauvrissement et le meurtre de centaines et de milliers de gens dont énormément de choses dépendaient de ces 1000f;
Des présidents qui ont fini leur mandat sans voler ça existe au sénégal; les Diouf et autres, même avec une mauvaise popularité, ils sont au moins partis sans vider les caisses
Transhumant qui a travaillé avec wade, macky, en route vers diomaye
