Baba Ndiaye Confronted Over 1.4 Billion FCFA Payment, Provides Hallucinatory Explanations

Baba Ndiaye, manager of the 'One Student, One Computer' program, confirmed that the program's accounts were held at DGES but clarified he was neither the authorizing officer nor the payer, roles held by the DFES and the general director. He described managing several bank accounts, including those at Ecobank, BOA, and UBA, which were co-managed by the DG and DFES. During the hearing, a 1.4 billion FCFA invoice paid to Real It was presented, despite him not having seen any contract or agreement, raising questions about the legitimacy of the payment.
