by 48 
The Union of Senegalese Magistrates (Ums) vigorously condemns the establishment of a Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry whose mission is to hear the magistrates who are members of the Constitutional Council, Cheikh Tidiane Coulibaly and Cheikh Ndiaye, accused by the Freedom Parliamentary Group, democracy and change of “dubious connections” and “conflict of interest”, following the invalidation of Karim Wade’s candidacy. The Ums considers that the approach is “contrary to the principle of the separation of powers and constitutes a dangerous precedent for the independence of Justice”.Le QuotidienBy Mamadou T.
