Assembly: The special case of Diomaye’s adviser, Mme Demba Dieng

Mme Demba Dieng, Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye’s adviser on land matters and a former senior cadastral official, declined a summons from the parliamentary inquiry into land management. In a statement published on October 15, 2026, the commission said it would continue investigating alleged irregularities involving several subdivisions and the maritime public domain. It did not disclose why Dieng declined, and neither she nor the presidency had provided comment by publication time. The report notes that a summons is not an accusation and that the commission’s role is to establish facts and make recommendations.
