National Assembly: Minister Me Moussa Sarr Reprimands Amadou Ba of Pastef

The Ministry of Justice responded to Deputy Amadou Ba of Pastef, who claimed that the blocked vote aimed only to protect the political funds of the Presidency. Minister Me Moussa Sarr confirmed that the bill was formally compliant with the Constitutional Council's guidance, choosing an organic law after an initial version was censored. He clarified that formal compliance did not mean the substance was validated, and amendments were proposed to address issues such as the separation of special credits, the lack of clarity on who authorizes credit orders, and the delegation of execution procedures to ordinary law. The government emphasized it does not defend political funds and ensures respect for hierarchy.
