National Assembly: Ousmane Sonko admits his mistake regarding the upcoming parliamentary investigation

Ousmane Sonko, President of the National Assembly, corrected his earlier statement by confirming that the parliamentary investigation on special funds covers the period from 2012 to 2026, not 2021. He clarified that his previous mention of 2021 was a speech lapse and that the investigation includes all administrations since 2012, including his own time as Prime Minister. The investigation aims to scrutinize the management of special and political funds across this broad timeframe, including the early years of the 2024 political transition. The resolution proposed by the majority group targets funds from the Prime Minister’s Office, the CESE, and the HCCT, reflecting a desire to shed light on resource usage over the years.
