The National Assembly of Senegal convened a high-stakes plenary session today, dedicated entirely to live parliamentary questions directed at the Government. Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko and his cabinet ministers appeared before lawmakers to address pressing national issues and respond to sharp parliamentary interpellations.
This parliamentary tradition, where the executive branch must justify its actions in real time, drew intense media and public attention. Sonko, leading a reformist government, fielded inquiries on economic policies, security challenges, and governance reforms during the two-hour session. The tense exchanges highlighted the growing scrutiny over his administration’s performance in tackling unemployment and infrastructure deficits.
The session also served as a platform for opposition leaders to challenge the government’s handling of recent socio-economic grievances. With social tensions simmering over rising living costs, the Prime Minister’s responses were closely watched by both citizens and political analysts. The televised broadcast allowed Senegalese across the country to witness the democratic process in action.
