The civil society space in Senegal has lauded the move by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye on the need to adopt a bill on the protection of whistleblowers.
To ensure this comes out speedily, he has instructed his Minister of Justice to work on this in order to combat corruption more effectively.
Although Senegal has ratified the UN Convention against Corruption, which includes whistleblower protection as a pillar, the country has not yet passed a law to shield whistleblowers from retaliation.
Provisions on reporting crime and corruption are inadequate, and the practice of whistleblowing is not defined in law or regulation.
Few laws in Senegal relate to the disclosure of information, and none offer protection to employees and citizens who do so, hence the bill.
Our guest is Elhadj Amadou Samb, Country Director of BudgIT Sénégal and a Civil society Actor.
