Senegal parliament to grill prime minister on friday

The National Assembly of Senegal is set to hold a crucial plenary session this Friday, May 22, 2026, starting at 9:00 AM, dedicated to Government Question Time. The official notice, signed by Assembly President Malick Ndiaye, confirms that Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko and his cabinet will face direct questioning from lawmakers on pressing national issues.

This session, taking place in the Assembly’s main chamber, represents a key moment for parliamentary oversight of government actions. Legislators will have the opportunity to scrutinize policies across critical areas such as economic management, social welfare, public administration, and national security. The session aims to foster transparency and accountability in governance.
