Assemblée nationale : Ousmane Sonko réunit les commissions techniques

Legislators within the National Assembly commenced a series of technical commission reviews this Wednesday, August 12, 2026, focusing on pivotal legislative drafts. These include significant reforms to the Labor Code and a proposed bill concerning asset declarations for elected officials, showcasing a commitment to robust African governance.

The National Assembly is embarking on a demanding week of technical commission deliberations, with several critical texts on the agenda. These encompass comprehensive reforms to labor law, enhanced patrimonial transparency, and vital digital security measures, reflecting key aspects of current African affairs.

At 9:00 AM this Wednesday, August 12, 2026, members of the Commission on Laws, Decentralization, Labor, and Human Rights convened for a joint examination of two fundamental legislative proposals: the draft law establishing the Labor Code and the draft law outlining the Social Security Code.

In the afternoon, beginning at 3:00 PM, the same commission will turn its attention to the proposed bill seeking to amend Article 37 of the Constitution. This particular text, championed by Amadou Bâ, addresses the crucial issue of asset declarations required upon the conclusion of public service.

The rigorous legislative calendar continues into Thursday, August 13. At 10:00 AM, deputies are scheduled to review Bill n°25-2026, which focuses on the protection of critical information infrastructure and overall digital security. Later, at 3:00 PM, the focus will shift to a proposed bill put forth by Guy Marius Sagna and his co-signatories, designed to establish the legal framework for special credits.
