MEPs will meet again in plenary session on Monday 18 August at 10 o’clock for the opening of the extraordinary parliamentary session 2025. The announcement comes from a communiqué signed by the President of the National Assembly, Malick Ndiaye. The text does not specify the detailed agenda, but everything leads to believe that this meeting will be devoted to the draft laws on the transparency of public life, recently adopted in the Council of Ministers. The President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, had himself given the tone. During the presentation of the Plan de redressement économique et social (PRES), he had announced the convocation of this special session to examine four major texts: the creation of the National Office for the Fight against Corruption, the law on whistleblowers, the law on access to information and the declaration of heritage. According to him, these texts constitute the culmination of a year of work and are aimed at providing Senegal with a robust anti-corruption and good governance system. Bassirou Diomaye Faye calls on the citizens to take ownership of these reforms, which he calls “barriers against all kinds of prevarications”. C.G.D.
