Senegal President Excludes Himself from the New Anti-corruption Law

President Bassirou Diomaye Faye pushes for financial accountability in Senegal with an expanded asset declaration law, though his exemption sparks criticism, following a 2024 audit exposing hidden debts under Macky Sall, prompting IMF suspension and corruption charges.

President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has committed to reinstating financial accountability in Senegal following a controversy over concealed debt involving his predecessor.

A revision to the 2014 asset declaration law would require certain public officials to disclose their assets, while also lowering the threshold for reporting these assets. However, Faye is not subject to this law, which has drawn criticism from opposition leaders who contend that the president must also adhere to transparency standards.

This development follows a 2024 audit that uncovered substantial debts during the tenure of former President Macky Sall, leading the IMF to suspend disbursements and lower Senegal’s credit rating.

In response, Faye has detained multiple former ministers on suspicion of corruption, including Sall’s brother-in-law, who is facing charges of embezzlement.
