The Senegalese Agency for Rural Electrification (ASER) lodged, on 18 September 2025, a complaint with the Procureur de la République before the Tribunal de Grande Instance de Dakar against the political actor Pape Mahawa Diouf for defamation and dissemination of false news. The application, introduced by Me Khadim Kébé, was registered in the courrier du parquet under the number 1740. At the origin of the complaint, the proposals made by Pape Mahawa Diouf during the Faram Facce programme, broadcast on TFM on 17 September. The responsible politician stated that a scandal involving the misappropriation of 37 billion CFA francs would have broken out within the ASER. Accusations deemed slanderous and mendacious by the agency. In his complaint, Mr Khadim Kébé considers that these statements seriously damage the image and credibility of ASER. According to him, they are devoid of any evidence and would have no other purpose than to harm and discredit a national institution in a purely political sense.
