The Prime Minister of Senegal, Ousmane Sonko, delivered a firm statement during a parliamentary session addressing the issue of unnatural acts, emphasizing that the recently enacted stricter penalties will be enforced without exception. Speaking during the current affairs questions session on Friday, he made it clear that the law is not merely symbolic—it is designed to bring all perpetrators to justice, regardless of their status or influence.
In a stern warning to potential offenders, Sonko declared that no one, not even the most powerful figures—those he referred to as the “big fish”—would be spared from prosecution. His message was unequivocal: the government’s goal is to completely eradicate such acts from the country, leaving no room for complacency or leniency.
Addressing international concerns, Sonko took a firm sovereign stance, rejecting any criticism from Western nations regarding the new legislation. He asserted that Senegal does not need external validation or lessons on how to govern its own affairs. This uncompromising position aligns with his long-standing commitment to prioritizing national sovereignty in decision-making.
