” Sonko waxna deug: Ku wax dette cachée amul danga khamul! ” This is the first time I’ve seen this. “The Minister of Economy has answered the question on the existence of the debt to the Hémicycle. In his speech to the National Assembly, the Minister of the Economy, Abdourahmane Sarr, sought to defuse the controversy over what some call “hidden debt”. In the face of Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko and the deputies, the minister affirmed that the debate was “without foundation” and that the corrected data on the public debt were part of a normal process of sanitization. Reacting firmly, Abdourahmane Sarr explained that a debt cannot be called “hidden” unless the State itself is unaware of its existence. Or, he says, the State reimbursed these commitments au fur et à mesure, which proves that the amounts were known, even if the information transmitted was not correctly consolidated in the official statistics.
This is the new information from Minister Abdourahmane Sarr.
