Passation de service au ministère des Sports : Khady Diène Gaye met en garde contre les lobbies du sport
With a frank and straightforward tone, Khady Diène Gaye delivered a committed speech during her handover of duties at the Ministry of Sports and Youth, calling on the new minister Djireye Clotilde Coly to show courage in the face of the pressures existing in the sporting world.
Amid lobbying, smear campaigns, and pressure tactics, the former minister warned her successor about certain abuses. "You are in an environment where some players, instead of serving sport, are using sport for their own ends. If you take actions that go against their interests, you'll face smear campaigns and criticism, and sometimes they even involve the press," she declared.
However, she added a caveat: "But it's not the entire sports press, it's not the entire press," she added.
Addressing the institutional challenges of the sector, she stressed the importance of renewing the governing bodies of the national sports movement, particularly the situation of the National Olympic Committee, whose mandate expired several months ago and which is expected to hold its general assembly after the Youth Olympic Games.
For her, the stability and democratic renewal of sports organizations are essential elements for the success of ministerial action.
Addressing the new Minister of Sports and Youth, Djireye Clotilde Coly, Khady Diène Gaye also emphasized that the pursuit of the common good should take precedence over personal considerations or calculations of influence. "You will be attacked unless you make the press your closest allies. I haven't sought to make friends. I will strive to serve the common good, the interests of all stakeholders, and especially those of young people, because what has been entrusted to us is for the youth, it is for the Senegalese people," she stated.
Concluding his speech with a Wolof expression, ''kou mer boko, tampi'' literally translated as (don't worry about the dissatisfied), the essential thing is that the final beneficiaries can enjoy the efforts made.
