We leave here very satisfied and very confident in ourselves by what we have been told that we should no longer be afraid of anything, there is no more witch hunts, there is no there will be more fear and an executive authority will no longer interfere in the decisions rendered by the courts and tribunals,

 ”said Alpha Saliou Barry, the national director of civil affairs and seals at the Ministry of Justice.

"

 The justice has rendered several decisions which are not executed, we want the judicial decisions rendered to be executed so that the force of justice lies in the application of its decisions

In the recent past, the executive played many roles in the exercise of the judge's function, interfering in judicial affairs on a continuous basis,

The justice of our country, which has been criticized several times, must henceforth be involved in the consolidation of the rule of law and the fight especially against impunity
