The President of the Forum du Justicible, Babacar Ba, questioned the Head of State on the question of transparency following the vote on the draft law establishing the Office for Better Fight against Corruption. Other bills to combat misgovernance and lack of transparency were also voted on in the National Assembly this week: in particular the law on the declaration of heritage, the law on the status and protection of whistleblowers and the law on access to information. This is laudable on more than one account, according to Babacar Bâ, who nevertheless states: “We draw the attention of the President of the Republic to the fact that, meanwhile, the management of black coffers or political funds costing billions is beyond all control, and neither the National Assembly nor the Court of Auditors nor the judiciary, still less the ordinary citizen, know how much is spent. This money belongs to the Senegalese people (mechanicians, merchants of Sandaga, at the Ocass de Touba market, street vendors, carpenters, car washers, plumbers, peasants, taxi and car drivers Ndiaga Ndiaye, cordonniers of Ngaye, Jakartamen…) “. Addressing the President of the Republic, Babacar Bâ indicated that “if the President really wants transparency to be put in place in this country, we must begin by suppressing all the black coffers of the Republic, or if necessary, set up an emergency fund domiciled in the public treasury, which can be certainly managed by yourself, but subject to the control of the Assembly. National and the Court of Auditors. I’m not sure. ‘The transparent management of public funds, including black boxes, in accordance with the Code de transparence dans la gestion des finances publiques, implies the public disclosure of detailed and accessible information on the use of these funds, enabling the National Assembly, the Court of Auditors and citizens to request accounts on the use of public funds. M. and The President, with all due respect to you, the absence of a clear legal and regulatory framework describing the procedure for the execution of the black boxes (public debts) does not promote transparency”, reiterates the moral person of the Forum du Justiciable. I’m not sure what you mean.
Babacar Bâ, Forum du Justicible: “Transparency will only be effective when the caisses noires de la République are brought under control or suppressed! ”
