Assemblée nationale : Ousmane Sonko réunit les commissions techniques

Deputies within the National Assembly commenced a series of technical commission reviews this Wednesday, August 12, 2026, focusing on pivotal legislative proposals. These include a comprehensive new Labor Code and a bill addressing asset declarations for elected officials.

The National Assembly is currently engaged in an intensive week of technical commission examinations. The agenda is packed with several significant texts, ranging from vital reforms to labor law and ensuring patrimonial transparency, to enhancing digital security measures.

At 9 AM on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, members of the esteemed Commission on Laws, Decentralization, Labor, and Human Rights convened. Their mandate was to conduct a joint review of two critical legislative documents: the proposed Labor Code bill and the Social Security Code bill, both poised to reshape national policy.

Later that afternoon, starting at 3 PM, the same dedicated commission shifted its focus. They meticulously analyzed the proposed bill to amend Article 37 of the Constitution. This particular text, championed by Amadou Bâ, pertains to the mandatory declaration of assets upon the conclusion of public service.

The rigorous legislative schedule extends into Thursday, August 13. At 10 AM, deputies are slated to scrutinize Bill N°25-2026, a crucial piece of legislation designed to bolster the protection of critical information infrastructure and overall digital security. Following this, at 3 PM, attention will turn to the legislative proposal put forth by Guy Marius Sagna and his co-signatories, which seeks to establish the legal framework governing special credits.
