For Serigne Bassirou Gueye, corruption, “in its various forms”, whether fraud, bribery, favoritism, is “a major obstacle to the transparency and performance of public services”. To this end, he encouraged journalists to play an active role in denouncing these practices and to contribute to the promotion of responsible and honest governance
