National Assembly: Abdou Mbow accuses Finance Committee of falsifying its report on the 2026 supplementary budget

During the 3 November plenary session on the 2026 supplementary finance bill, lawmaker Abdou Mbow accused the Finance and Budgetary Control Committee of falsifying its report, presented by rapporteur-general Mady Danfakha. Economy and Finance Minister Cheikh Diba had earlier disputed the report’s account of discussions on hospital projects and special funds, while Amadou Bâ defended the committee’s work. The presiding chair proposed checking official audiovisual recordings of the committee proceedings. The bill includes a 555 billion CFA franc cut in state investment and increased appropriations to repay the principal of so-called hidden debt.
