The case of the acquisition of vehicles by the National Assembly is now before the courts.

The complaint, lodged by Me Bamba Cissé on behalf of the second personality of the State, against the alleged facts of diffusion of false news and defamation, is believed to be from the same source. As regards Bachir Fofana, complète le journal, l’avocat reproche à ce dernier des déclarations récentes mettant en cause un marché public de véhicules, which he asserts to have been attributed to Cheikh Guèye, the principal accuser in the case of the Tribunal de Pikine-Guédiawaye involving the former Minister of Justice, Ismaïla Madior Fall. As for Adama Gaye, he is being prosecuted for a publication deemed defamatory, posted on his Facebook page, concludes Libération.
It is not a matter of the Commission’s being able to do so.
