Supplementary Finance Bill: Guy Marius Sagna explains Pastef’s rejection to “protect Senegalese people”

Pastef’s parliamentary group voted against the supplementary finance bill in committee. Deputy Guy Marius Sagna said in a Facebook post that the rejection was intended to “protect Senegalese people.” He questioned the accuracy of the budget figures on the deficit and debt, criticized the lack of transparency in budget matters, and challenged the effectiveness of measures to tackle the high cost of living and protect purchasing power.
