“We have noticed the recurrence of fires in the Touba and Kaolack markets.”

At the head of a large delegation, the leader of the alliance Bokk Gis-Gis led a descent into the rubble of the Ocass market in Touba on Monday a few days after the severe fire that devastated hundreds of canteens. Pape Diop will apologize for the enormous losses recorded before calling on the state of Senegal. “The damage is enormous. The market situation in Senegal requires a thorough reflection on our part. This fire on the Ocass market in Touba is the latest in a long series. The state should consider eradicating this scourge completely. Annihilate these fires the efforts of the Senegalese “.

The former President of the National Assembly noted that the fire repeatedly devastated the markets in Touba and Kaolack. Therefore, he will wish for the effective start of the program of rehabilitation and modernization sung by the authorities. However, he noted that the state could fish as Senegal is rocking a Covid-19 pandemic that has caused an economic slump in that country.

In this context, in which he will have to find solutions, Pape Diop will propose the creation of a private company that will be responsible for the construction, rehabilitation and modernization of the markets. “This company could borrow money from Senegalese banks with the guarantee of the state, but also raise funds in the bond market to deal with this situation. Likewise, this company could come and help the migrant traders and help them make a sedentary trade to operate. “
