By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Senenews
Senegalese MP Amadou Ba accuses the government of abandoning a completed project to merge and abolish public agencies. He believes the move is intended to install political allies and follows his criticism of the dismissal of 87 directors-general and board chairpersons, according to Senenews.
Senegalese Pastef MP Amadou Ba has accused the government of abandoning a completed project to merge and abolish public agencies in order, he claims, to place political figures and allow directors-general to build electoral bases. He said the executive was “throwing this project in the bin”, Senenews reports.
Amadou Ba believes the reform was intended to reduce public spending, improve administrative coherence and limit overlapping responsibilities between agencies. He says maintaining structures with bloated staffing constitutes “yet another renunciation” while the public is being called on to support the budgetary effort.
This latest criticism comes after the same MP denounced 555 billion CFA francs in cancelled investments on 21 October. Amadou Ba had also challenged the dismissal of 87 directors-general and board chairpersons, which he interpreted as an abandonment of efforts to rationalise the state.
