Special Funds: What a President of the Assembly Was Receiving Before Sonko

A bill aimed at regulating the executive's special credits was declared inadmissible by the Constitutional Council after being introduced as an emergency measure. Ousmane Sonko, now head of the National Assembly following his dismissal from the Prime Ministership, manages a discretionary fund estimated between 50 and 65 million FCFA per month, not listed in the finance law. These funds, part of the Assembly's overall budget, are not public and remain opaque, fueling political debates about their use. The legal and political struggle over these funds reflects tensions between transparency and discretionary power in Senegal.
