2026 Amending Finance Bill: Papa Djibril Fall’s fury — “They have their salaries…”

National Assembly member Papa Djibril Fall condemned the referral of the 2026 Amending Finance Bill to committee, saying political considerations are delaying urgent measures. The bill is intended, among other things, to support households, pay amounts owed to construction and public works companies, and deliver family allowances to eligible recipients. He accused Pastef of putting internal political disputes ahead of Senegalese citizens’ needs and urged its supporters to end their divisions. Fall also criticized political officials for retaining their salaries, political funds and allowances while blocking a budget meant to help the public.

EFCC Witness Admits AMCON Board Approved NG Eagle Sale

At the Special Offences Court in Ikeja, EFCC witness Bawa Usman Kaltungo admitted that AMCON’s board, then chaired by Amos Adamu, approved Ahmed Kuru’s sale of NG Eagle. He confirmed that about ₦149 million in proceeds was paid into AMCON’s account with the Central Bank of Nigeria. Kaltungo said the investigation relied in part on a judgment that nullified the sale, but acknowledged he did not know it had been appealed and later set aside. Kuru and four other individuals or entities are on trial over the airline’s management and sale, with proceedings expected to resume on October 28, 2026.
