Vérification des parrainages : Mamoudou Ibra Kane révèle une confidence de feu le juge Badio Camara
Invited to the show "Objection" on Sud FM this Sunday, the journalist-writer and political actor, Mamoudou Ibra Kane (MIK) threw a stone into the political pond.
Having come to present his new book, "Third Alternation in Senegal: My Double Perspective", the leader of the Tomorrow is Now movement shared exclusive confidences from the late President of the Constitutional Council, Mamadou Badio Camara.
At the heart of the revelations shared on Sud FM was a major confidence from the late judge. According to the author, the former president of the Constitutional Council did not hide his discomfort with the management of the highly controversial sponsorship system. "He acknowledged the system's imperfections," revealed Mamoudou Ibra Kane.
According to him, the senior magistrate was actively advocating for reform. "We need to relieve the Constitutional Council of this almost subordinate task of carrying out the technical verification of endorsements," MIK reports.
The late judge considered this review, which he deemed "tedious," to be out of place among the seven members of the Constitutional Council. He believed that this purely administrative task should be assigned to another technical body. This would allow the Constitutional Council to refocus exclusively on its noble and original mission: reviewing the constitutionality of laws, regulating institutions, and arbitrating power disputes.
According to the journalist who takes a critical look at current political events, the new Constitutional Court proposed by President Diomaye in his preliminary reform plans is only a "pale copy" of the existing institution, in the sense that "the influence of the executive" on the constitutional judges does not change.
Indeed, for the guest on "Objection" who was particularly incisive on the issue, maintaining an ultra-centralized umbilical cord between the Executive and the constitutional judges immediately distorts the spirit of the reform.
According to the new system proposed by Diomaye's draft bill, the President of the Republic directly chooses six of the nine members of the Constitutional Court. The other three will be chosen from a list of five individuals proposed by the President of the National Assembly.
