Dossier ASER-AEE POWER : Entre zones d'ombre et "politiciens sans discours", l'heure de vérité a sonné pour Jean Michel Sène
The case of the Senegalese Rural Electrification Agency (ASER), long shrouded in mystery and persistent suspicion, appears to be entering a decisive phase. The institution's Director General, Jean Michel Sène, himself announced on social media that he had been summoned by the gendarmerie's Research Section. This announcement marks a major turning point in what is considered one of the biggest scandals in public finance management under the new regime.
Jean Michel Sène greeted this news with feigned composure. Recalling that he had presented "factual elements" during his press conference on April 1st, he affirmed that this referral to the courts is precisely what he has "always hoped for." The CEO stated his readiness to fully cooperate: "I have thus indicated my availability to provide all the necessary evidence to uncover the truth," he posted, while warning that "the era of politicians without real substance, who have been trying to cling to this case, is drawing to a close."
For several months, warnings and complaints have multiplied regarding this rural electrification project, funded to the tune of 37 billion CFA francs. Senegalese citizens now hope to gain clarity on the actual use of these funds, intended to transform the daily lives of thousands of people. Who has truly benefited from this funding? What work has actually been carried out on the ground? And above all, why do some areas remain without electricity despite the colossal sums invested?
Another troubling aspect of the case lies in the conspicuous absence of AEE Power and its manager from the visible execution of the projects. Despite being key players in certain markets, the Spanish company and its CEO are now at the center of scrutiny. Their exact role, contractual obligations, and level of actual involvement will need to be clarified by investigators from the Research Section, renowned for handling the most complex cases.
This summons represents immense hope for the public: the hope of finally seeing the truth emerge. Citizens expect clear answers, established responsibilities, and, if necessary, sanctions commensurate with the offenses. Beyond the figures, it is the Senegalese people's trust in the management of public resources that is at stake in this sensitive case.
