Sénégal assembly bills: Ousmane Sonko’s 11 proposals for change
The Bureau of Senegal’s National Assembly has finalized the agenda for the upcoming extraordinary session, featuring eleven critical bills. Among them are two legislative proposals, three government bills, and six requests for parliamentary inquiry commissions.
The National Assembly is set to reconvene for its first extraordinary session of the 2026-2027 legislative year. The Bureau convened this Wednesday to confirm Monday at 10 a.m. as the official start time. The session promises to be particularly intense, with eleven bills on the agenda, including several high-stakes reforms and requests for parliamentary inquiry commissions.
Among the most anticipated texts is a legislative proposal aimed at amending Article 37 of the Constitution, which governs the declaration of assets by the President of the Republic. Legislators will also deliberate on a bill designed to regulate special credits and other secret funds—a recurring topic in debates on fiscal transparency. Both proposals cleared an important hurdle in July, having been deemed admissible by the Bureau of the National Assembly.
This packed agenda underscores the urgency and significance of the upcoming session. With institutional reforms, government bills, and multiple requests for parliamentary inquiry commissions, the debates are expected to reignite discussions on critical issues such as governance, public accountability, and institutional transparency.
