Pastef and the government are negotiating: revelations about yesterday

The National Assembly committee’s review of the 2026 supplementary finance bill was postponed until Thursday at 3 p.m. after disagreements and negotiations between parliament and the government. Around 10 p.m., committee chair and MP Alphonse Mané Sambou informed members of the talks and said the government had pledged to provide the documents they needed. The delayed session included several breaks and responses from Economy, Finance and Planning Minister Cheikh Diba. The plenary session, initially scheduled for Friday, October 23, was moved to the following week at the government’s request, a decision the Takku Wallu Sénégal parliamentary group called “illegal.”
