Karim pledges Touba development plan

Senegal's infrastructure czar, Karim Wade, son of President Abdoulaye Wade, yesterday told Touba leaders that the government would assist in developing a master plan for the Holy City of the Mourides.

Infrastructure development in and around the fastest growing area of Senegal is already underway, largely done by Chinese construction firms.

The current development work includes developing and maintaining roads and the construction of several water towers and reservoirs.

M. Wade pledged further improvements pursuant to a general plan. "We will initiate a major development plan to Touba to think of tomorrow, the problems of urban development, sanitation and access," he said in Touba.
