The Director General of SN HLM and member of Moncap Pastef, Bassirou Kébé, was the guest of the show in truth on RSI. He delivered a clear analysis on current governance, accounting for accounts and challenges of a reforming state.
Bassirou Kébé did not mince his words. From the outset, he recalled that accounting for accounts is not a witch hunt, but a fundamental principle of governance: “It must serve as an example for any manager. For him, this requirement is a guarantee of transparency in public management.
Bassirou Kébé wants to be clear about his posture as managing director. “I am one of the directors who manage management. So me as my comrades must be aware that we are justiciable. And if we make mistakes, the same legal proceedings will catch up with us. In this case, neither President Diomaye Faye nor Ousmane Sonko will protect anyone, “he said.
A strong message addressed to all public managers in a context where Senegalese justice is called upon to play a central role in the moralization of public life.
Bassirou Kébé wants to be part of a logic of rigor, justice and deep reforms. For him, the directors general and other officials are necessary to establish the bases of the governance project advocated by the current regime, based on ethics, competence and collective responsibility.
Bassirou Kébé did not hide his indignation in the face of what he describes as “systemic predation” having marked the previous governances: “My intimate conviction is that the country was led by thieves. Now, it is the responsibility of the judicial authorities to situate the responsibilities and to sanction. »»
According to the director of SN HLM, the State must not be satisfied with superficial measures: “It must serve as a tool to hold major reforms in order to meet the needs of the Senegalese. For him, only a structural transformation will build a future up to popular expectations.
Addressing the question of appointments, Bassirou Kébé is sweeping away any accusation of favoritism: “We have never said that only our activists will be appointed, moreover it is impossible. He highlights the calls for candidates launched for positions like those of the National Council for Human Rights or the Arcoc college as proof of openness.
If he recognizes that “democracy is to govern with those with whom we have led the fight”, he insists on unity around the skills: “The development of a country requires the unity of its competent sons. We will not fail to call on them when the time comes. »»
