Senegal: After Aminou Lo, Mimi Touré takes on Ousmane Sonko and PASTEF lawmakers

After PASTEF lawmakers rejected the 2026 supplementary finance bill, Mimi Touré, a member of Kiiray - Les Patriotes Républicains, denounced what she called a political maneuver at a press conference in Dakar on October 26. She said the impasse prevents 300 billion CFA francs from being paid to businesses employing nearly 350,000 people, and suspends 35 billion CFA francs in family benefits intended for 1.646 million households. The rejection also blocks the disbursement of 120 billion CFA francs from a World Bank emergency program and deprives hospitals and fire stations of funding.
