At a press conference on October 26, 2026, Aminata Touré criticized Pastef lawmakers for refusing to pass the supplementary finance bill (LFR). She said its rejection would prevent the state from authorizing 2,505 billion FCFA in commitments and accessing 1,590 billion FCFA in payment credits. Touré cited 300 billion FCFA in planned arrears payments to private businesses, which employ about 336,000 people, and an additional 35 billion FCFA for family safety grants benefiting 1,646,000 families.
