A Senegalese MP, Thierno Alassane Sall, has publicly accused former Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko of involvement in the alleged misappropriation of 37 billion FCFA (approximately $60 million USD) earmarked for rural electrification. Sall claims the funds, intended for a large-scale electrification program, were not used for their intended purpose despite official statements suggesting project progress. He alleges that he has traced the funds to various countries, indicating potentially opaque financial circuits. Sall disputes government explanations for project delays, specifically citing claims of customs issues as a cover for a lack of delivered materials. He argues that these explanations were attempts to falsely portray project advancement. The accusations come as Sonko seeks to regain political footing, with Sall suggesting a bid to enter the National Assembly. The case has taken on a significant political dimension, raising questions about transparency and accountability in Senegal’s public spending.
