On the occasion of a panel organized this Thursday, May 1, by the Autonomous Union of Tax and Domains (SAID), as part of the Labor Day, the mayor of Kolda, Mame Boye Diao delivered an explosive testimony to internal dysfunctions and political pressures that plague the land administration.
An outing that can shake opinion, especially since it directly challenges political practices and angered the President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Faye. “The three years I spent in the domains was a nightmare,” confessed Mame Boye Diao, evoking the contradictory injunctions of the “decision -maker”, namely “the Minister or the President”, which would guide technical decisions according to political or clientelist interests. He pleaded for an in -depth reform of the Directorate General of Taxes and Domains (DGID), by emphasizing the need to protect practitioners in the face of hierarchical pressures.
The former director did not fail to return to a tense episode with the current head of state. “One day, Bassirou Diomaye Faye entered my office, very angry, and said to me:” If you resound the grounds of the Said of Guédiawaye, it will be an unlimited strike. ” A reaction that the person concerned said he calmed down by reminding him that he was performing the orders of a minister in writing.
