What Ousmane Sonko Was Planning During His Long Silence

On October 13, Ousmane Sonko, President of the National Assembly, broke several weeks of silence by proposing the establishment of five new parliamentary investigation commissions. These focus on the Petro-Tim-Kosmos Energy case, the Decennial Flood Control Plan, management of special funds, programs funded by Banco Santander, and an agreement between the Ministry of Health and the United States regarding Senegalese citizens' data. Sonko emphasized that these commissions aim to establish facts and make recommendations, respecting the separation of powers and ensuring the credibility of parliamentary work.
