Makhtar Cissé: "what attacks and kills Bargny is not smoke, but poverty"

Recalling the difficulties experienced by SENELEC in 2011, Mouhamadou Makhtar Cissé pointed out that at that time, only 56% of the park was functional, all the rest of the installations had broken down, there were 900 hours cuts across the country. To reverse this trend, he says, the state has started the construction of the Sendou coal-fired power plant despite all the grievances raised.

In the name of sustainable development, Mr. Cissé explains, the most important word is not necessarily '' durable '', but it is the word '' development ''.

All of world has been anxious to perpetuate our species. But, first of all, there are concerns about the existence of this species, says Mr. Cissé before pointing out: " it is not the Sendou coal-fired power station that constitutes a danger for Bargny. What attacks and kills Bargny is poverty. And in the context of the reduction of poverty, and for the creation of wealth, it is necessary to regulate the energy constraint, even if a generation of Senegalese must die, so that the future benefits from this infrastructure. All that adds to nature creates a danger for man. Nature can not flourish without risk on itself. It should be known that even wind and solar power plants pollute . "

SENELEC's general manager reacted to the wave of disapproval caused by the construction of the Sendou coal-fired power station. It was at the Closing Ceremony of the Weekend of the Press held at Cape Skirring.
