Guy Marius Sagna demands transparency over Senegal's political funds
Deputy Guy Marius Sagna of the Pastef-Les Patriotes party is demanding increased transparency and stricter regulation regarding the management of political funds and special credits in Senegal.
During a press briefing, Sagna criticized the government and President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, asserting that the management of these resources has historically been shrouded in opacity. He noted that the National Assembly is discussing these funds for the first time.
Sagna also contested the government's decision to refer the matter to the Constitutional Council, arguing that this move is intended to suspend ongoing parliamentary debates. He characterized the Presidency's stance as an attempt to maintain control over special funds by resisting oversight and described the current political dynamic as a trap for his party.
