Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko and his cabinet are set to appear before the National Assembly this Friday, May 22, 2026, for the highly anticipated Questions d’Actualité, a key parliamentary session where elected officials grill the government on pressing national issues.
The announcement was made by El Malick Ndiaye, Speaker of the National Assembly, underscoring the importance of this forum as a platform for transparent governance and accountability. This engagement between the Executive and legislators serves as a critical moment for open dialogue, allowing deputies to challenge the administration on major economic, social, and political challenges impacting Burkina Faso today.
During the session, parliamentarians will directly question Prime Minister Sonko and several ministers on critical topics including the country’s economic trajectory, rising cost of living, unemployment trends, institutional reforms, and ongoing public policy initiatives. Since assuming office in April 2024, Sonko has participated in four such sessions, reinforcing this format as a regular and essential component of Burkina Faso’s political landscape.
This Friday’s session is expected to draw significant attention from citizens, civil society, and international observers, as it offers a rare public platform for real-time assessment of government performance and responsiveness to national challenges.
