Open Letter to Mr. Ousmane Sonko and Senegalese Men Engaged in Public Life (By Aïssata Gadio)

Aïssata Gadio writes to Ousmane Sonko, saying his claim that he worked for fifteen years as a tax and domains inspector without taking bribes made him her political leader. She argues that Senegal suffers from politically driven greed and calls for a change in public attitudes alongside the efforts already made. As the country faces a delicate political period, she says voters chose a break with past practices, justice and transparency, and that their trust is a moral contract rather than a blank cheque.
