 7 April 2023 (source: APS)



G50 headed by Jean Marc Pisani (EU Ambassador) warned Senegal that its must improved the social and political situation before the 'INVEST SENEGAL' event in June 2023 in 3 points: 

- The G50 is still waiting for the release of the annual accounts from 2018 to 2021 as well as the public money management report of 2020 and 2021. They first made the request in January 2023. 

- Also, following the publication of the Covid 19 report last year and the embezzlement of the funds, the Group wanted to have an updated on the investigation of this enormous scandal. 

- Last but not least, Jean Marc Pisani stressed about the political and social within a year of the presidential race. All signs are red and that can have a very negative impact for investors. We accounted for 3 dead people following the court case involving the Minister Mame Mbaye Niang to the main political opponent Ousmane Sonko. 

Mr Pisani strongly recommended dialogue between all parties for a peaceful and inclusive election in the next presidential race in February 2024. This is according to him the best solution in order to preserve the rule of Law in Senegal.
