A controversy surrounding a supposed “hidden debt” in Senegal continues to fuel political debate, with conflicting interpretations of institutional reports. Aldiouma Sow, a former Pastef party member now supporting President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, has indirectly reignited the controversy, placing Faye’s camp in a contradictory position. This follows clarifications from former Court of Accounts President Mamadou Faye, who stated the original report does not explicitly mention a “hidden debt.” Faye accuses political actors of instrumentalizing the issue to discredit the opposition, framing the debate as politically motivated rather than a technical budgetary matter. He also characterizes President Faye’s approach as measured and focused on technical transparency. Sow’s recent statement aligns with the view that a concealed financial liability exists, further complicating the situation and intensifying scrutiny of the government’s financial dealings. The debate centers on whether a debt was deliberately hidden or simply not fully disclosed.
