These reforms alone will not be enough according to the President of the Republic Macky Sall. They must go hand in hand with exemplary behavior at work.
“What counts and makes the difference is the availability and the work of the men and women who apply the reforms, who interpret the texts, animate the structures, welcome, advise, guide the investor and make the decisions; everything this in transparency, without bureaucracy or unnecessary loss of time. What must be done today cannot be postponed until tomorrow. This is why we must banish from our administrations the lax behaviors that hinder the smooth running of business “, said Macky Sall.
