Minister Cisse, deliberated on President Sall’s promise to end the debate over the presidential mandate by limiting it to five years from the previous seven years and renewable only once and that he would employ every constitutional means possible to prevent future generation from tampering with it.

“By and large” the writer observes that “Senegal is as of now, no doubt politically and other wise stable and though we are in the rains, the celestial sun is still out every day shinning in the capital, Dakar and the weather is doubtless humid, especially at night”.
