Asked about the latest developments in the Khalifa Sall affair, El Hadj Issa Sall, candidate of the Party of Unity and Rally, made it clear that the decision of the Court of Justice of the Economic Community must be respected of West African States
And to continue, " I do not believe in justice as power. I have always considered that the only power that exists in a Republic is the Legislative, because it is the deputies who represent the people, the only holder of sovereignty. The Executive and the Judiciary are not powers, according to my conception of the Republic. Both are obliged to enforce the laws passed by the Parliament.
But since in the current state of things, we consider the Judiciary as a power, I put it in quotation marks, I think that its independence is related to its different components, ie the natural persons who animate it. Now, it is clear that in Senegal, there is a subordination of the Judiciary in relation to the Executive, since the prosecution depends on the Ministry of Justice. We can not speak of the independence of justice as long as this bond of subordination remains.
