Council of Ministers: Bassirou Diomaye Faye carries out a major reshuffle of prefects

At the Council of Ministers meeting on Wednesday, April 15, the President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Faye,   has carried out a series of changes within the prefectoral corps. These decisions, taken under individual measures under the Ministry of the Interior and Public Security, concern about fifteen departments across the country.

Among the most notable changes, Latyr Ndiaye is leaving the prefecture of Kaolack to take over that of Ziguinchor, replacing Hamet Tidiane Thiaw, who has retired. He will be replaced in Kaolack by Mamadou Guèye, formerly prefect of Tivaouane.

This series of reshuffles also affects the departments of Saint-Louis, Tivaouane, Oussouye, and Médina Yoro Foulah, with a cascade of transfers. Abou Sow, the outgoing prefect of Saint-Louis, moves to Tivaouane; Maurice Latyr Dione, former prefect of Oussouye, succeeds him in Saint-Louis; while Modou Mamoune Diop takes over as head of the Oussouye department. This is the implementation of the President's decision.
