The political rivalry between Pastef and Kiiraay shows no signs of slowing down. With no referee in sight to call time on this high-stakes confrontation, each side continues to fire salvos of allegations and counter-allegations, each revealing what they claim to know about the other.

In the latest development, Dr Abdourahmane Diouf took the floor during an RS1 program hosted by Migui Marième Ndiaye. The Minister of Petroleum and Energy addressed the controversial issue of secret funds totaling 1.77 billion CFA francs that Ousmane Sonko had at his disposal as Prime Minister. But Dr Diouf’s revelations didn’t stop there.

He asserted that after exhausting the allocated political fund envelope, Ousmane Sonko reportedly requested an additional top-up. What remains unclear is whether this request was granted. More importantly, the origin of this sensitive information raises critical questions. If verified, only two individuals would have had access to such details: the President of the Republic and the Minister of Budget.
