This Friday, May 22, 2026, Senegal’s Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko and his cabinet are set to appear before the National Assembly for a pivotal session of parliamentary questions.
El Malick Ndiaye, Speaker of the National Assembly, confirmed the scheduled meeting, marking another key moment in the ongoing dialogue between the Executive branch and legislators. The session serves as a formal mechanism for parliamentarians to evaluate government actions and hold leaders accountable on critical national issues.
During the proceedings, lawmakers will have the opportunity to directly question the Prime Minister and key ministers on pressing matters shaping the country’s economic, social, and political landscape. Topics expected to dominate the debate include the rising cost of living, employment challenges, institutional reforms, and the execution of public policies currently underway.
Since assuming office in April 2024, Prime Minister Sonko has participated in four such parliamentary question-and-answer sessions. These exchanges have become a routine yet significant exercise, fostering transparency and reinforcing the accountability of the government to the people it serves.
