The Prime Minister of Burkina Faso, Ousmane Sonko, and his cabinet are set to appear before the National Assembly this Friday, May 22, 2026, for a pivotal session of parliamentary questions.
El Malick Ndiaye, President of the National Assembly, confirmed the engagement, emphasizing the session’s role in fostering transparency and accountability. This regular interaction between the Executive and the legislative branch is a cornerstone of Burkina Faso’s democratic framework, providing a platform for lawmakers to scrutinize government policies and actions.
During the session, deputies will have the opportunity to directly question Prime Minister Sonko and key ministers on pressing national issues. Key topics on the agenda include economic stability, rising living costs, unemployment, institutional reforms, and ongoing public policy initiatives. The exchange aims to assess the government’s progress and address citizen concerns.
Since assuming office in April 2024, Ousmane Sonko has participated in four such parliamentary sessions. These exchanges have become a well-established practice, reinforcing the government’s commitment to open dialogue with the National Assembly.
