Wednesday, 14 June 2017 22:12

In Senegal, a commission will be put in place by the Louga municipal council, in the northern part of the country, to “shed some light into multiple cases involving fragmentation of lands which are later given out cheaply”, in some areas of Ndiambour. This was reported by the Agence de Presse sénégalaise (APS).

Concerned about land management in the area, municipal authorities, will the upcoming commission, are going for an inclusive and participative approach. “We are here and so are officials (from fiscal services) and with this commission, we will be able to directly investigate since all processes are under our jurisdiction and responsibility,” deputy mayor, Djibyy Diallo, told the press.

Among other issues submitted to the commission, there is also the issue whereby “land is awarded to people after they present only their ID cards as evidence to acquire them”, Diallo added.
