RTS: Al Aminou Lo’s unexpected revelations about former CEO Racine Talla

Senegalese Prime Minister Ahmadou Alhaminou Lo is challenging the application of the RTS company agreement, saying commitments made under former director general Racine Talla lacked funding guarantees. He plans new talks with unions and says a public company’s director could face legal action for making commitments without sufficient resources, describing the move as a “betrayal” of the state. He rejects automatic application of the agreement on the grounds of state continuity, citing RTS’s financial difficulties. The dispute follows union delegates’ walkout from a statutory meeting on February 26, 2026, after their request to prioritize discussion of the agreement was denied.
