This Friday, May 22, 2026, the National Assembly of Senegal will host a pivotal plenary session where Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko is set to appear before lawmakers. Scheduled to begin at 9:00 AM in the parliamentary chamber, the session will focus exclusively on Government Question Time—a critical platform for parliamentary oversight.
According to an official notice signed by National Assembly President Malick Ndiaye and issued in Dakar on May 19, 2026, the session marks a key moment for legislators to scrutinize government policies and actions. The Prime Minister and his cabinet members will field direct questions from deputies on pressing national issues, including economic policies, social welfare programs, and public administration challenges.
