National Assembly: An Extraparliamentary Circus (Mamadou Bamba Ndiaye, And Suqali)

Mamadou Bamba Ndiaye, a former MP with And Suqali, criticizes Pastef’s majority lawmakers for failing to submit amendments to the revised budget bill. He says they are relying on press conferences, demands and the threat of a negative vote instead of written parliamentary procedures. In his view, the Constitution and laws define institutional powers and conflict-resolution mechanisms, while this extraparliamentary approach risks disrupting the legislative process. He also accuses Pastef of expanding remarks about the word “pexe” by adding claims of conspiracy, liquidation and murder.
