Constitutional Council: Ousmane Sonko’s Next Battle

Following the Constitutional Council’s ruling on October 15, 2026, the reform governing special funds is suspended, but debate over their oversight continues. The parliamentary majority could restart the legislative process while meeting constitutional requirements under Article 82, paragraph 4, including rules for handling amendments. Ousmane Sonko also announced proposals to establish parliamentary inquiry commissions examining the management of special funds at the Prime Minister’s Office, HCCT and CESE from 2012 to 2026. No revised bill or timetable for restarting the reform has been announced.
