Senegal’s government plans to summon ex-President Macky Sall to court due to audit findings revealing serious financial mismanagement during his term. The audit office reported discrepancies in the treasury, revising debt and deficits significantly. Government officials assert that serious criminal charges could follow, while the current administration works to reform public finance oversight.
A recent announcement by a Senegalese government spokesman confirmed that former President Macky Sall is to be summoned to court following revelations of financial irregularities during his administration. The country’s audit office has reported significant discrepancies in the treasury’s bookkeeping, indicating that Sall’s tenure may have involved severe mismanagement of public funds, with both public debt and deficits substantially overstated compared to previously official figures.
This development highlights the ongoing scrutiny of former President Sall’s administration as President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko pursue accountability for corruption. The charges against Sall and his associates reflect a critical shift in Senegal’s governance, as the current administration seeks to distance itself from the previous leadership and address issues of financial integrity.
