Opponents Ousmane Sonko and Mamadou Lamine Diallo particularly insist on this point of his supposed wealth… He is categorical: “I do not have a bank account abroad in which there are more than fifteen thousand dollars.”

This is a rumor that many Senegalese officials are fueling. More precisely, two members of the government who do not only want good things for Amadou Ba. Reports are made on property that may belong to him to the attention of the American Administration. Nothing conclusive can ultimately be found.
At the end of these investigations, reports Madiambal Diagne’s work taken up by Le Quotidien, the American Department of State, clearly reassured, entrusted Amadou Ba, Minister of Finance of Senegal, with the popularization, at the African level, of a program precisely linked to the repression of illicit income. This is the Star program, Stolen Assets Recovery, on illicit financial flows. “If he’s a thief, then he must be very clever,” jokes an American diplomat.

Businessmen, close to Macky Sall’s power, hampered by Amadou Ba’s refusal to approve certain oil imports, are keen to bring him down. They will seek to uncover his supposedly hidden financial assets.

It must be said that Amadou Ba’s sulphurous reputation, in terms of his wealth, pushes Alexia La Tortue, today in a good position at the US Treasury Department, to dissuade Pape Amadou Sarr from working alongside Amadou Ba, reveals the former responsible for Der/fj. But following the American investigations, Amadou Ba found himself in the good graces of the American Treasury Department and the services of the American Secretary of State.
To make matters worse, on Friday April 8, 2022, the marabout Serigne Abdou Karim Mbacké, an important Mouride religious figure, is at Amadou Ba’s house. During this period of Ramadan and fervor, Baye Karim, as the disciples call him, visits him because they have maintained warm relations for many years.
Serigne Abdou Karim Mbacké is accompanied on this occasion by disciples, some of whom take videos and photos. The dissemination of images of this visit on social networks raises a lot of questions, not to mention controversies. How can a senior civil servant own a villa of this standing, people wonder in the media and other social networks.
