National assembly: sonko’s busy legislative agenda

Assemblée nationale : Ousmane Sonko réunit les commissions techniques

Deputies within the National Assembly commenced a rigorous series of technical commission reviews this Wednesday, August 12, 2026, focusing on pivotal legislative proposals. This intensive week-long agenda, guided by the Assembly’s leadership under Ousmane Sonko, addresses significant reforms spanning labor law, financial transparency for elected officials, and vital digital security measures.

On Wednesday morning, precisely at 9:00 AM, members of the esteemed Commission on Laws, Decentralization, Labor, and Human Rights gathered for a joint session. Their primary task involved scrutinizing two fundamental pieces of legislation: the proposed Labor Code bill and the accompanying Social Security Code bill.

Later that afternoon, beginning at 3:00 PM, the same commission reconvened to delve into a significant amendment. This focused on the bill put forward by Amadou Bâ, proposing modifications to Article 37 of the Constitution, specifically concerning the mandatory declaration of assets upon an official’s departure from public service.

The legislative calendar extends into Thursday, August 13. At 10:00 AM, deputies are scheduled to evaluate Bill No. 25-2026, a crucial measure addressing the protection of critical information infrastructure and overall digital security. Subsequently, at 3:00 PM, attention will shift to a proposal championed by Guy Marius Sagna and his fellow signatories, which outlines the legal framework governing special credits.
