National Assembly: Ousmane Sonko drives key technical committee reviews
Deputies at the National Assembly commenced intensive technical committee examinations this Wednesday, August 12, 2026, focusing on critical legislative proposals. These include a comprehensive review of the Labor Code and a bill concerning the declaration of assets for elected officials.
The National Assembly is currently navigating a demanding week of technical committee deliberations, with a packed agenda featuring several pivotal legislative texts. These range from significant reforms to labor law and social security to enhancing patrimonial transparency and bolstering digital security.
This Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at 9:00 AM, members of the Commission on Laws, Decentralization, Labor, and Human Rights convened to jointly scrutinize two fundamental pieces of legislation: the proposed new Labor Code and the accompanying Social Security Code bill.
Later in the afternoon, starting at 3:00 PM, the same commission shifted its focus to a critical legislative proposal. This bill seeks to amend Article 37 of the Constitution, specifically addressing the declaration of assets required from officials upon leaving public office, a text championed by Amadou Bâ.
The rigorous parliamentary schedule extends into Thursday, August 13. At 10:00 AM, deputies are slated to review Bill n°25-2026, which outlines measures for the protection of critical information infrastructure and overall digital security. Following this, at 3:00 PM, attention will turn to the legislative proposal put forth by Guy Marius Sagna and his co-signatories, which aims to establish the legal framework for special credits.
