87 CEOs and Board Chairpersons Dismissed: Amadou Ba Warns of Economic and Administrative Consequences

Amadou Ba, a member of the Pastef party, expresses concern over the consequences of the dismissal of 87 general directors and board chairpersons, noting that the transition period could result in a loss of efficiency of 3 to 8 months. He also criticizes the profile of the new appointees, 87 of whom are transhumant mayors, and questions the rationalization of the parapublic sector. Ba links these appointments to the government's austerity measures, questioning the coherence between the sacrifices demanded from citizens and the increase in public appointments.
