President Bassirou Diomaye Faye received the final report of the Assisses de la Justice held in June on Thursday.

Bassirou Diomaye Faye made it clear that he is totally neutral with regard to the Superior Council of the Judiciary.

The presence of the Head of State on the Superior Council of the Judiciary has always been the subject of debate in the country.

Actors in the Senegalese justice system and legal specialists believe that the fact that he heads this body is a threat to the independence of the judiciary.

The Chairman reassured the audience that all the conclusions contained in the report would be implemented as soon as possible.

The Senegalese president invited Professor Babacar Guèye, who chaired the justice conference, to initiate the preliminary steps for reforms concerning the Constitutional Court, the liberty judge, long pre-trial detentions and other issues.
