The National Assembly is bracing for an intense parliamentary session, packed with institutional reforms, investigative committees, and key legislative proposals. At the heart of this agenda lies the majority’s determination—spearheaded by Sonko—to fast-track governance priorities focused on transparency, accountability, and public oversight.

mandatory asset declarations and stricter political funding rules

A centerpiece of this legislative push is a bill to amend Article 37 of the Constitution, introducing a mandatory asset declaration requirement for presidents leaving office. The Justice Minister has already signaled support, advocating for a standardized application across all public officials. Another critical proposal seeks to tighten controls over political funds, long criticized as opaque financial instruments, by imposing stricter legal frameworks to ensure full transparency and traceability.

parliamentary inquiries and economic legislation

The Bureau of the National Assembly has also approved the creation of three investigative committees. The first will examine state-owned real estate management, particularly following controversies surrounding the Cité Fayçal and Sogepa’s operations. A second committee will revisit the stalled TRS dossier, a long-standing issue despite earlier initiatives by the Takku Wallu parliamentary group. Concurrently, the Executive is advancing several high-priority ratification bills, including the long-awaited Petroleum Code, as energy sector reforms take center stage in Senegal’s economic outlook.
