Unpaid Bills, 6 Billion CFA Francs Claimed: Schools in Kaolack Caught in Dispute Between City Hall and Sen’Eau

In Kaolack, the municipality led by Serigne Mboup is seeking nearly 6 billion CFA francs from Sen’Eau for amounts it says have been owed since 2023, including municipal taxes and fees. Sen’Eau disputes part of the claim and says it has paid more than 26 million CFA francs in municipal taxes and fees. According to the mayor, several primary schools have been left without water amid the dispute, and the municipality plans to rely on boreholes to supply them. Mboup says it is unfair for schools to bear the consequences of the financial conflict.
