L’Etat, ses 1200 bâtiments, le fardeau des locations et ses milliards d’arriérés : Les révélations du Dd de la Sogepa
Since President Diomaye's statement on the matter of the building that housed the late Hcct, the state's built heritage has been at the heart of the debate. This Thursday, during a workshop of the Agency for the Construction of Public Buildings and Edifices (ACBEP), focused on "the need to achieve energy efficiency," the Director of Sogepa unveiled the state of the state's built heritage.
Elimane Pouye, whose organization is in the spotlight with the affair of the building of the late Hcct, revealed that he inherited a situation where the State of Senegal is the primary owner, but paradoxically the primary tenant in the country.
Today, explains Mr. Pouye, the State owns approximately 1,200 unallocated buildings. But what is paradoxical is that "it spends almost 17 billion CFA francs on its rental costs per year." For the CEO of Sogepa, real engineering is needed in the management of the State's assets in order to effectively rationalize rental costs and make Sogepa a lever for financing the economy.
The level of dilapidation of the state's built heritage is also a cause for concern. "When I took over, the reports showed that 67% of the buildings were dilapidated and 11% were very dilapidated. So, we're at a minimum of 78% of the buildings are dilapidated, due to poor maintenance," reveals Mr. Pouye.
Today, the state is over 33 billion in rental arrears, he reveals. This is because it owns assets that ultimately turn out to be liabilities. That is, buildings that absorb resources but do not generate revenue.
"They say that when the building industry is doing well, everything is doing well. Unfortunately, this truth is not applied to the State. We have buildings everywhere, but in reality, they don't generate enough revenue. We need to move towards a system of valorization," he advocates.
The other drawback is that those entitled to official housing are not very attracted to state administrative buildings. Most civil servants prefer to opt for private agreements, which are more expensive.
"A simple example: a minister has a housing allowance of around 1.5 million. He prefers to be housed in the Eden Rock building, whose monthly rental value is 5 million, because the comfort provided by this building is much more advantageous than receiving his allowance," reveals the CEO of Sogepa.
To remedy this, it is up to Sogepa to work on offering the same level of comfort, he says. This is so that civil servants can prefer to stay in government buildings rather than in private accommodation.

Il faut imposer ces logements aux ministres , sinon pas d’indemnité de logement mais aussi leur donner une fois 10 millions pour les rendre viables
1.5 million dindemnite de logement c'est trop pour un pays don't le smig est a peu pres 50mille
Maintenant vous comprendrez que ce pays ne bougera pas les gars qui doivent changer ça te parlent de confort de voiture d'indemnités etc pffff
Avec 1m500 on peut bien trouver un bon logement. Vous ne faites que parler, agissez c'est mieux
Il faut y ajouter les R+10 des voleurs de l'Apr qu'on met en location. Dans 10 ans,les fruits de ces locations couvriront une partie importante de leurs détournements
Quand on dirige, on dirige sinon on cède le pouvoir.
