Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, accompanied by members of his cabinet, is slated to appear before the National Assembly this Friday, May 22, 2026. This session, dedicated to current affairs questions, is a fundamental aspect of the legislative body’s oversight responsibilities concerning governmental actions. The announcement of this important parliamentary engagement was made by El Malick Ndiaye, the esteemed President of the institution.
This vital exchange between the executive branch and the nation’s elected representatives will provide an opportunity for parliamentarians to directly question the head of government and various ministers on significant economic, social, and political issues. Discussions are widely expected to delve into the prevailing economic climate, the persistent cost of living challenges, strategies for job creation, the advancement of ongoing institutional reforms, and the efficacy of current public policies.
Since his appointment in April 2024, Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko has already participated in four similar question-and-answer sessions. This consistent engagement has firmly established the exercise as a regular and pivotal feature of parliamentary life, highlighting a commitment to transparency and accountability within the government’s operations.
