Deputies within Senegal’s National Assembly commenced a series of technical commission examinations this Wednesday, August 12, 2026, focusing on pivotal legislative proposals. These include a comprehensive reform of the Labor Code and a bill concerning asset declarations for elected officials.
The National Assembly is embarking on an intensive week of technical commission reviews, with several significant legislative texts on the agenda. These encompass crucial reforms to labor law, enhanced financial transparency, and critical digital security measures.
On Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at 9 AM, members of the Commission on Laws, Decentralization, Labor, and Human Rights convened. Their mandate was to jointly scrutinize two cornerstone pieces of legislation: the proposed Labor Code and the draft Social Security Code.
Later that afternoon, beginning at 3 PM, the same commission shifted its focus to a bill proposing amendments to Article 37 of the Constitution. This particular text, championed by Deputy Amadou Bâ, addresses the declaration of assets upon leaving public office, aiming to bolster accountability.
The legislative schedule extends into Thursday, August 13. At 10 AM, deputies are set to review Bill n°25-2026, which outlines measures for the protection of critical information infrastructure and digital security. Subsequently, at 3 PM, the focus will shift to a proposal introduced by Deputy Guy Marius Sagna and his co-signatories, defining the legal framework for special credits.
