Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko and his ministerial team are scheduled to appear before the National Assembly this Thursday for a formal session of government oversight. This quarterly exercise allows deputies to pose questions on current affairs, a procedure rooted in the constitutional mission to monitor executive actions and governed by Article 104 of the Assembly’s internal regulations.
The proceedings are expected to span 202 minutes, focusing on a total of 14 specific inquiries. The distribution of these questions reflects the legislative balance: the majority Pastef-Les patriotes group has been allocated 10 questions, while the Takku Wallu opposition coalition and the non-aligned deputies have been granted two questions each.
Strengthening democratic transparency
This interactive session is part of a broader effort to enhance transparency in the administration of public affairs. It provides a platform for the executive branch to justify its policies and respond directly to the concerns of elected representatives in Sénégal.
The meeting, which marks the fifth time the head of government has participated in such an exchange since his appointment, will be led by Ismaëla Diallo, the first vice-president of the National Assembly. This follows the most recent session of current affairs questioning, which was conducted on 24 February 2026.
