A political struggle over control of Dakar's waste management has resulted in the Wade administration's removal of waste management from the mayor of Dakar to the national department for health. That department's chief, Madani Sy, takes over the blame for mountains of garbage continuing to grow in Dakar (as throughout Senegal). The Wade administration also takes control of the massive (if seemingly useless) waste management expenditures from opposition party Mayor Khalifa Sall.
But still pivotal will be the Dakar garbage workers union, which has struck long and often, but which apparently see better benefits from Mayor Sall, who they claim was making progress in cleaning up the Dakar's garbage. Union leader Dakar Yenne vows to fight the shift in the General Assembly.
