Dakar - Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade has sacked Budget Minister Ibrahima Sarr, according to a decree published on Friday in the government daily Le Soleil.
The move to replace Sarr with Mamadou Abdoulaye Sow comes after an audit revealed expenses that were not justified in the state budget.
Senegalese press reports Friday differed in the amount of unjustified expenses, ranging from 109 billion cfa francs to 450 billion.
