The Senegalese National Assembly is set to host a pivotal plenary session this Friday, May 22, 2026, beginning at 9:00 AM, where Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko and his cabinet members will face direct questioning from lawmakers.
Government accountability takes center stage
According to the official notice issued by the President of the National Assembly, Malick Ndiaye, the session will focus exclusively on “Current Affairs Questions to the Government”. This mechanism is designed to scrutinize executive actions while allowing deputies to probe pressing national issues.
Key topics on the agenda

- Economic priorities and fiscal measures
- Social welfare programs and public services
- Ongoing legislative reforms
The invitation, dated May 19, 2026, was circulated in Dakar and signals a return to a critical parliamentary tradition where elected representatives hold the administration accountable. While the full details of the opposition’s queries remain undisclosed, political observers anticipate sharp exchanges on budget allocations and security policies.
