After rejecting the 2026 Amending Finance Bill, Ousmane Sonko renews his criticism

The party denounced what it called a lack of budgetary credibility and transparency, noting that the government had not submitted the September 2026 budget execution reports or reports from the IGF and Forvis Mazars.

It praised its lawmakers’ vote as “courageous, responsible and patriotic.”
