« Ma première mesure a été de... » : Cheikh Oumar Diagne sans concessions sur la facture de 200 millions CFA de Diomaye et Cie à l'hôtel King Fahd
As reported by Seneweb, the former director of general services at the Presidency revealed that he received a bill for more than 200 million CFA francs from the King Fahd Palace hotel, following the stay of Diomaye Faye and his men after the victory in the 2024 presidential election. A bill that Cheikh Oumar Diagne refused to pay, before taking the initiative to resolve a breach that could no longer be tolerated.
In a video posted on social media, the politician explains that he has ceased all relations with the hotel in order to force them into a partnership with the state.
“The first measure I took was to say that I would not pay, but I would try to sign an agreement because the King Fahd Palace Hotel is Senegalese property, therefore, we should not pay. It is the hotel that must receive all state guests. I stopped all seminars at the King Fahd. I ceased all presidential activities at the King Fahd upon my arrival, until the Magal controversy,” declared Cheikh Oumar Diagne.
The former director of general services at the Presidency then consulted the Ministry of Tourism, then the Ministry of Finance, to see if the State should actually pay the King Fahd Palace hotel and if so, whether it should pay the entire sum or a part of it.
A problem that he ultimately failed to solve, as a controversy ensued concerning the Magal, when Cheikh Oumar Diagne refused to take charge of the foreign delegations for the religious event, on the grounds of "rationalizing expenses", "a new management doctrine", and "an assessment of the state of hotel accommodations for better management".
He was dismissed some time later after a new controversy, this time concerning the Senegalese riflemen.
