Affaire Sékou Cissé : Le CiAAS dénonce un « sacrifice » sur l'autel de la lutte contre la corruption
The Interministerial Collective of Senegalese Administration Agents (CiAAS) breaks its silence. In a statement received by our editorial staff, the organization says it is "deeply shocked and outraged" by the treatment of Mr. Sékou Cissé, former Head of the International Business Development Service and former manager of the ATA Carnet in Senegal.
According to the group, the dismissal of this senior civil servant was not related to his competence, but to his role as a whistleblower. In 2018, Mr. Cissé had undertaken to denounce "fraudulent practices and suspicions of corruption" within the Dakar Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (CCIAD) to the OFNAC (National Office for the Fight Against Fraud and Corruption).
The organization condemns the brutal backlash: "Instead of being commended for his integrity and patriotism, he was subjected to reprisals, pressure, and career sabotage." The CiAAS points to a human resources management system used as a tool of punishment by the Chamber of Commerce authorities.
A systematic "career sabotage"
The account of events paints a picture of institutional harassment that allegedly began well before the contract termination. The CiAAS reveals that despite "exceptional performance," Mr. Cissé received a degrading performance rating of "3/20" accompanied by remarks deemed insulting. Sidelined between 2021 and 2023, the employee saw his responsibilities reduced to nothing without any valid justification.
The breaking point was reached in August 2024. After nine years of service, Sékou Cissé was dismissed "without notice or severance pay." For the CiAAS, this act proves that "integrity and competence are not always rewarded" in Senegal.
Not content to let the matter rest, the group announced it would fight alongside the former manager to ensure he "restores his rights and that justice is served." The statement concludes with a passionate appeal to the public: "We call upon all Senegalese who cherish justice and transparency to join us in denouncing these practices."
