226 billion FCFA at stake: How Ousmane Sonko will once again shake Bassirou Diomaye Faye

At the opening of the 2026-2027 parliamentary session, Ousmane Sonko announced the submission of five resolution proposals by the PASTEF-Les Patriotes group to establish parliamentary investigation commissions on sensitive issues, including oil and gas contracts, the Prime Minister's special funds, and projects financed with 226 billion FCFA. These investigations could challenge the management of natural resources, public funds, and foreign financing, placing President Bassirou Diomaye Faye under pressure for greater transparency. Topics also include the management of special funds and projects funded by Banco Santander, with potential implications for the government.
