Takku Wallu Sénégal withdraws from parliamentary inquiry commissions to “avoid the media circus”

The Takku Wallu Sénégal parliamentary group has announced its definitive withdrawal from the six inquiry commissions recently established by the National Assembly. In a statement, it criticized hearings it said had become theatrical and turned into a “media circus,” undermining fact-finding and the dignity of the institution. The group said it would not endorse what it called a “public trial based on accusations” and argued that the commissions had become a stage for political maneuvering. It said it would focus on the needs of the population and called for the credibility of republican institutions to be protected.
