Since last Friday, the Court of Auditors has officially submitted to President Bassirou Diomaye Faye its audit report on the management of public finances under the regime of Macky Sall, according to information reported by Le Quotidien. This highly anticipated document was also sent to several high state authorities, including the Prime Minister, Ousmane Sonko, the President of the National Assembly, El Malick Ndiaye, and the Minister of Finance and Budget, Cheikh Diba. These allegations relate to misappropriation of funds, over-billing in the award of public contracts, and serious shortcomings in the management of State resources.Despite its importance, the report has not yet been published on the official website of the Court of Auditors, as is customary to ensure transparency. This lack of publication raises questions and fuels speculations about the content of the document, in particular about the extent of the malfunctions it might reveal. If irregularities are found, the report could have major political and judicial implications, involving the responsibility of actors involved under the Macky Sall regime. For the time being, the public and political observers await an official publication and a clear communication on the conclusions of this audit.
