Confrontation électrique à l'Assemblée : Quand Abdou Karim Fofana et les députés se livrent un duel verbal
The National Assembly was the scene of a heated verbal clash between former minister and Director General of the AGPBE (National Agency for the Management of State Assets), Abdou Karim Fofana, and members of the parliamentary inquiry committee, illustrating the political and institutional tensions surrounding the management of state assets. These brief, heated confrontations resulted in formal reminders of the Assembly's rules of procedure, noted throughout Fofana's hearing on the state's built heritage by the parliamentary inquiry committee this Monday.
The presiding officer, MP Momar Talla Ndao, tried his best to steer the proceedings toward a technical examination of the files while reminding the witnesses of their absolute obligation to be accountable to the sovereign Senegalese people. However, as the latter was determined to pursue his arguments to the end, the discussions ultimately stalled.
A palpable tension from the very first minutes
On one side, the members of parliament repeatedly questioned and interpellated the issues, demanding straightforward answers regarding the legality of the leases, the lack of approval decrees, and the former manager's personal responsibility in sensitive cases (Cité Fayçal, Dak Tower, villas des Mamelles). On the other side, the guest offered fierce resistance, arguing that he was being denied the right to explain the overall context of his decisions and that attempts were being made to hold him responsible for actions predating his management.
The situation deteriorated several times when the former Director General refused to be interrupted during his lengthy explanations, accusing the presiding officer of trying to restrict his freedom of speech. Abdou Karim Fofana repeatedly stated that he was appearing of his own free will, insisting on respect for his honor as a former minister of the Republic. The interlocking interventions of the members of parliament, interrupting the witness to prevent him from evading the specific figures related to the leases, sparked heated exchanges during which the words "respect for courtesy," "censorship," and "bias" were hurled. Some members of parliament did not hesitate to reject outright the technical explanations provided, describing the actions taken as "flagrant violations of public administration rules." Furthermore, Momar Talla Ndao strongly regretted that the debate had taken an inappropriate turn.

Son audition révelle qu'il n'a pas fait approuver les baux emphytheotiques par Décrets. Et plus grave encore, il attribue des baux sur 99 ans. Ba tribinal rekk dina lèrr.
Ce n’est pas tous les baux emphyteotiques qui doivent être approuvé par l’état
Nous accueillons les Jeux Olympiques de la Jeunesse dans un environnement qui soulève de sérieuses inquiétudes. Aux abords du Stade de l’Amitié, les mécaniciens occupent les ruelles. Vers Grand Médine et devant l’école primaire Unité 25, des installations débordent sur la chaussée. L’insalubrité et l’occupation anarchique de l’espace public sont visibles.
Comment prétendre accueillir le monde dans ces conditions, sans prendre à bras-le-corps les problèmes d’assainissement, d’occupation de la voie publique et d’aménagement urbain ?
Les JOJ sont une vitrine pour le Sénégal. Mais cette vitrine doit refléter une ville organisée, propre et accueillante.
Il est encore temps d’agir. Les autorités compétentes doivent prendre leurs responsabilités, libérer les voies publiques et engager une opération sérieuse de nettoyage et de réorganisation des espaces concernés.
Le Sénégal mérite mieux. Et nos visiteurs aussi.
