Sédhiou : Bras de fer entre commerçants et service du commerce autour des produits Softcare et Freedom
Tensions are running high in Sédhiou between local businesses and the regulatory authority. Merchants held a press conference this morning to denounce what they call an "abuse of power" by the economic investigations commissioner. At the heart of the dispute is the withdrawal of Softcare and Freedom brand hygiene products.
According to their spokesperson, Moussa Dramé, known as "Ballaké," the Commissioner for Economic Investigations allegedly seized stocks of Softcare and Freedom products without following proper legal procedures. The main accusation rests on a lack of administrative transparency. The merchants maintain that no official notification or seizure report was drawn up during the operation. They denounce this arbitrary action, which they say will harm their businesses and their capital.
But the Commissioner for Economic Investigations finds these "allegations unfounded." For him, this is not a forced seizure, but a protective measure requested by the traders themselves.
According to his explanation, traders, fearing imminent inspections and sanctions from other state services, took the initiative to ask the Regional Trade Service to remove these products from sale.
The commissioner clarifies that his services only acted as a custodian to help traders get into compliance and avoid complications.
Keen to remove any ambiguity and prove his good faith, the Commissioner for Economic Investigations invites the traders concerned to come to the office today to collect all the products they had entrusted to him.

L'Etat devrait décréter un rappel de produit en bonne et due forme par le manufacturier.
A défaut, les commerçants devrait obtenir un récépissé durant ces saisies pouvoir se faire rembourser par le manufacturier.
