The government has initiated procedures for the withdrawal of leases at the coast of the Corniche de Dakar. “The aim is to return all rights-of-way to the State”, according to the Minister for Communication, President of the Republic, Seydou Guèye.

This position, expressed this Sunday on the program “Objection”, at Sud fm, confirms that of the Minister of Town Planning, Housing and Public Hygiene, Abdou Karim Fofana, who announced during the week the stop of construction sites around the Phare des Mamelles.
According to Seydou Guèye, the state’s desire for transparent management of land is unambiguous. This is what justifies the National Commission for Land Reform that the Head of State had set up. “The government’s desire for transparent land management is indisputable. Since President Macky Sall came to power, the first decision he made in March or April 2012 was the repeal of the decree that organized the decommissioning of the Niayes nature reserve for the Senhuile-Senéthanol project “, He suggested.
For him, those who accuse them of land sale, especially at the coast, are wrong. Because, he said, those who acquired land on the Dakar Corniche had it long before President Macky Sall came to power. “We realize that most of the leases that gave rights to the projects that are erected were signed well before 2012. For the most part, it was the authorities of the city of Dakar who gave the authorizations”, said he recalled.
Continuing, he said: “Let us remember, when there was a conflict between the residents over the Turkish embassy, the President himself came to ask for the work to be stopped. He himself renounced the use of land that had been granted to him and he recommended that concerted mechanisms be put in place to find the development, implementation and construction of collective equipment “
