Cheikh Oumar Sy sur l’affaire Alioune Sall : « On ne bâtit pas un État de droit sur les ressentiments »
A guest on the "Grand Jury" this Sunday, October 12, on RFM, Cheikh Oumar Sy spoke about the wave of legal cases involving several figures from the former regime, including Alioune Sall, brother of former President Macky Sall.
For the president of the Observatory for Monitoring Economic Development Indicators in Africa, these procedures must be carried out "in transparency and serenity, without political manipulation."
Asked about the ongoing investigation into Alioune Sall, Cheikh Oumar Sy reiterated that no one is above the law, while calling for witch hunts to be avoided. "If someone is accused of something, let them answer to the courts. But justice must remain an impartial institution and not a tool for political revenge."
According to him, Senegal is "at a crucial moment where the credibility of justice determines the stability of the country." He warns of selective justice at the risk of "losing legitimacy and the trust of citizens."
“You cannot build a state of law on resentment.”
The former MP also warned against the risk of politicizing legal cases involving those close to the former government. "You cannot build a state governed by the rule of law on resentment or the desire to settle scores," he said. He insisted that "justice is not intended to correct perceived political injustices, but to apply the law, nothing but the law."
For him, the separation of powers is a cardinal principle to be preserved in post-alternation Senegal. "The government must let justice take its course, without pressure or interference, whatever the outcome," he insisted to Mr. Sy in front of the journalist.
