Sen TV, a television channel in Senegal, announced on October 4, 2026, that it is initiating legal proceedings against Cheikh Bara Ndiaye, a member of parliament. Ndiaye publicly accused Sen TV of corruption, claiming its employees are paid by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye. Sen TV’s management vehemently denies these allegations, branding them false. The dispute stems from Ndiaye’s recent claim that President Faye directly funds Sen TV’s staff salaries, sparking controversy online without supporting evidence. This accusation is part of a pattern of critical statements made by Ndiaye against President Faye amid ongoing tensions within the ruling coalition. Sen TV asserts that Ndiaye’s statements damage its honor and reputation and demands he provide evidence to support his claims, initiating legal action to seek redress.
