Fadilou Keïta was dismissed from his position as Director General of the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations (CDC) via a presidential decree dated September 10, 2026. Following the dismissal, the Secretary General was appointed to manage the institution on an interim basis. Keïta stated he was leaving with a “feeling of duty accomplished.”

However, the leadership transition has since reached an administrative impasse. While Mamadou Lamine Guissé has completed his oath of office as interim Director General, the formal handover of services has not been finalized because Keïta has not signed the required documentation. Keïta has contested the legitimacy of his removal, describing the decree as “antidaté” (backdated).

This deadlock has raised concerns regarding legal and financial risks for the CDC, including potential disruptions to daily operations, financial transactions, and employee salaries. Experts warn that without a formalized handover, the interim director may lack the authority to sign documents that legally or financially bind the institution. The Ministry of Finance has indicated it may intervene to resolve the blockage.
