Caisse des dépôts et consignations faces leadership transition deadlock

Caisse des dépôts et consignations CDC transition Mamadou Lamine Guissé Fadilou Keïta Senegal finance

The leadership transition at the Caisse des dépôts et consignations (CDC) has reached an administrative impasse. Mamadou Lamine Guissé, formerly the Secretary General, has been appointed interim Director General following the departure of Fadilou Keïta. However, despite Guissé having completed his oath of office, the formal handover of services has not been finalized.

Reports indicate that while the necessary documentation for the transition has been prepared and submitted, the outgoing director, Fadilou Keïta, has not yet signed the required papers. Keïta has contested the legitimacy of his removal, describing the decree ending his tenure as “antidaté” (backdated).

This deadlock creates significant legal and financial risks for the institution. Without a formalized handover, the interim director may lack the authority to sign documents that legally or financially bind the CDC. Experts warn that if the situation persists, it could disrupt daily operations, including financial transactions and the processing of employee salaries. The Ministry of Finance, which oversees the CDC, has indicated it may intervene to resolve the blockage.
