The resignation of the first president of the Kaolack Court of Appeal of the Union of Magistrates of Senegal (UMS), the case of 3,050 tons of ammonia stored at the Autonomous Port of Dakar and the national dialogue are among other subjects addressed by the dailies received this Thursday at the APS.
According to Le Quotidien, ” the senior magistrate Ousmane Kane no longer supports the disrespect of young magistrates towards their elders. Faced with the silence of the Union of Senegalese magistrates in the face of some of their colleagues, he decided to leave the UMS through “ a letter of resignation made public on Wednesday.
The first president of the Kaolack Court of Appeal will say that it all started with the controversial assignment of their colleague Ngor Diop. It was an opportunity, he explains, for + the magistrates insulting their elders to resume service (….) + ”, Writes the daily which displays in One ” Union in serious discomfort ”.
Ngor Diop, president of the Podor district court, was assigned as an advisor to the Thiès Court of Appeal, a decision that was not to the taste of the UMS which had announced an appeal to the Supreme Court.
” The controversial assignment of our colleague Ngor Diop was the opportunity for magistrates insulting their elders in the hierarchy to resume service; (…) Beyond the unacceptable rudeness that some colleagues have shown in the charges following the UMS press release, it is the gratuitousness of the attacks and the silence of the office which are unbearable, ” writes the magistrate in his letter.
According to Vox Populi, it is a “quarrel of generations in the judiciary”. “Old and young magistrates are gutting themselves,” the publication says. The Ace speaks of a “deep unease” at the UMS and explains “the underside of the noisy resignation of judge Ousmane Kane”.
The real reasons for Judge Ousmane Kane’s resignation are now known. According to our sources, the first president of the Kaolack Court of Appeal was not personally targeted by the criticisms of his young colleagues who motivated his decision, ” the publication wrote.
“It is rather the ex officio members of the UMS that the young magistrates accuse of colluding with the system and of not sufficiently defending their colleagues,” adds L’As.
“ It takes a toll on the judges ”, according to Walfdjri, stressing that the resigning magistrate “ denounces certain behaviors of his peers who, according to him, show a lack of respect characterized towards their hierarchical superiors and heads of jurisdiction ”.
Tribune speaks of ” justice on trial ”, stressing that Ousmane Kane ” castigated the behavior of certain magistrates whom they accuse of + lack of consideration and respect for their elders ”.
The Witness who reports a ” generational conflict ” in the judiciary emphasizes that the magistrate ” intends to protest against + the rudeness + of some of his young colleagues ”. “This resignation, which is not just any one, reflects the deep unease that exists between young and former magistrates,” said the newspaper.
The 3,050 tons of ammonia stored at the Autonomous Port of Dakar are also of concern to the dailies. On the subject, Waa Grand-Place displays on the front page: “The Autonomous Port of Dakar is breaking down, the Ministry of the Environment says niet”.
The general management of the PAD informed, on Wednesday, of the existence of a storage of 3,050 tons of ammonia nitrate at the level of Mole 3 dedicated to goods from Mali following alerts launched by the press.
“Of this tonnage, 350 tons have already been evacuated to Mali which remains its final destination (….)”, According to the PAD, indicating that the owner who “has already found a warehouse in Diamaniadio (is) by train to work with the Ministry of the Environment to obtain approval to urgently remove this cargo. ”
In the daily Waa Grand-Place, the director of the environment and classified establishments declares: “The ministry of the environment was not contacted until Tuesday, August 18; the storage of this harmful and dangerous product is regulated (….). We have not authorized any importation or storage. The Minister received the owner to verbally notify him of his refusal to authorize storage at Diamniadio ”.
On this case of ammonia nitrate stored in mole 3, Liberation notes that the Autonomous Port of Dakar “has not said everything”. The PAD ensures that the 3,050 tons of ammonia nitrates stored in Mole 3 are in transit and their removal would be imminent. This + imminence + poses a problem since the Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development opposed the transfer of the stock to a warehouse located in Diamniadio, ” the newspaper informs.
Regarding dangerous chemicals, Le Soleil has featured on the front page: “Macky Sall asks for the audit and security of the deposits”. The head of state called on the government on Wednesday for a national plan to secure deposits of dangerous chemicals.
“The President of the Republic (…) asked the Minister of the Interior to implement, in conjunction with the Minister of the Environment, a national plan to identify, audit and secure deposits of dangerous chemicals ”, We read in the press release of the Council of Ministers.
Regarding the national dialogue, Sud Quotidien underlines that General Mamadou Niang “press” Macky Sall for the holding of local elections at the expired date. “Meeting in a reduced format on Wednesday (….), The political committee for national dialogue decided to write a preliminary report on all of its work to be submitted to President Famara Ibrahima Sagna on August 25”.
“ General Mamadou Niang and his team wish to send the said document to the Head of State Macky Sall before August 31 so that he can make the necessary arrangements for the holding of local elections by March 28, 2021 ” , writes South.
The Observer reports that “Macky Sall wants the report of the political commission before August 31”. President Macky Sall seized Famara Ibrahima Sagna, president of the National Dialogue Steering Committee, to invite him to resume political dialogue. He gives him a period of ten days to deliver the report of the political commission, “ reports the newspaper.
