National assembly: ousmane sonko convenes technical commissions

Assemblée nationale : Ousmane Sonko réunit les commissions techniques

Senegalese lawmakers at the National Assembly commenced a series of technical commission reviews this Wednesday, August 12, 2026, focusing on critical legislative proposals. These include a comprehensive new Labor Code and a significant bill concerning the asset declarations of elected officials.

The National Assembly is embarking on a demanding week of technical commission deliberations, with several pivotal texts on the agenda. These discussions span crucial areas such as labor law reforms, enhancing patrimonial transparency, and bolstering digital security across Senegal.

At 9 AM on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, members of the Commission on Laws, Decentralization, Labor, and Human Rights convened to jointly examine two foundational pieces of legislation: the proposed Labor Code and the Social Security Code. These texts are expected to significantly reshape the legal framework for employment and social protections in the nation.

Later that afternoon, starting at 3 PM, the same commission shifted its focus to a proposed amendment to Article 37 of the Constitution. This particular text, championed by Amadou Bâ, addresses the mandatory declaration of assets by public officials upon leaving office, aiming to reinforce accountability and prevent illicit enrichment.

The rigorous legislative schedule continues into Thursday, August 13. At 10 AM, deputies are slated to review Bill n°25-2026, which pertains to the protection of critical information infrastructure and overall digital security. This initiative underscores the growing importance of safeguarding national digital assets. Subsequently, at 3 PM, the spotlight will turn to a proposed law put forth by Guy Marius Sagna and his co-signatories, which seeks to establish a new legal framework for special credits.
