In Diarrère, Moïse Sarr calls for independent review of road works

In Diarrère, traffic difficulties on the Fatick–Diarrère–Diohine laterite road are back at the centre of debate during the rainy season. Moïse Sarr, a Nouvelle Responsabilité official in the municipality, says several villages face serious crossing difficulties during heavy rainfall and is calling for an independent review of the rehabilitation works.

The grievances outlined are based on statements by this political official. The companies, technical services, local authorities and other parties he implicates are not named in the available information.

Disputed drainage structures

According to Moïse Sarr, rain makes the route difficult to use, with vehicles breaking down or becoming stranded. He attributes these problems in particular to the replacement of former culverts and pipes with fords, which he considers unsuitable for the layout of the area.

He argues that the situation may cause vehicle damage, loss of goods and make travel more difficult for residents. These consequences have not been independently verified in the source provided.

A call for an independent assessment

Moïse Sarr refers to an investment of several hundred million CFA francs in the rehabilitation project and questions whether the works meet local needs. He is calling for an examination of the role of the company in charge of the site, technical oversight and the acceptance of the structures, as well as the response of municipal authorities.

His main request is for an independent technical review. According to him, it should determine whether the infrastructure complies with standards and whether the options selected match the hydrological realities of the area. He is asking the State to order remedial works if the assessment reveals shortcomings.

The other road cited

In the same statement, Moïse Sarr mentions the Keur Martin–Diohine–Wakhaldiam road, which, he says, residents of several municipalities are still awaiting to be paved. He calls for secondary roads to be taken into account, notably citing Tattaguine, Diarrère and Ngayokhème.
