# Legislative and fiscal activities in West and Central Africa > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/legislative-activities-in-togo-and-central-africa > Updated: 2026-10-26T08:57:43.000Z. Sources: 63. Developments: 4. Legislative bodies in Togo, Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, Guinea, and Cameroon are addressing diverse fiscal, administrative, and diplomatic agendas. In Togo, the National Assembly continues to focus on international mediation and bilateral diplomacy, including the ratification of the convention establishing the International Organisation for Mediation (IOMed). The Senate has also opened its second ordinary session to examine the 2027 finance bill, which Senate President Barry Moussa Barqué noted must align with the 2026-2031 government roadmap. Togo has adopted a 2027 budget of 2,684 billion FCFA, reflecting a 2.5% decrease from 2026 due to international economic uncertainties. In Côte d'Ivoire, Senate President Kandia Camara opened the second ordinary session of 2026 in Yamoussoukro. The agenda involves reviewing the national budget, twelve bill projects—including SME policies and animal genetics—and implementing digital modernization through AI and electronic voting. The National Assembly has set a legislative calendar through December 31, 2026, to review these drafts and the 2027 finance bill. In Senegal, political tension has escalated following the rejection of the 2026 Revised Finance Law (LFR) by the National Assembly's Finance and Budgetary Control Commission. The ruling PASTEF party, holding 130 of 165 seats, argues the budget sacrifices strategic social sectors like health and education while failing to protect purchasing power. Aminata Touré, general supervisor of the Kiiraay political formation, criticized the rejection as “irresponsibility” that could harm the national economy. She warned that the blockage prevents the state from committing 2,505 billion FCFA in engagement authorizations and 1,590 billion FCFA in payment credits, including 300 billion FCFA for domestic debt. Kiiraay representatives in Fatick further characterized the move as a “serious political maneuver” that risks depriving essential services, such as schools and agricultural programs, of necessary resources. ## Claims - The Pastef parliamentary group in Senegal rejected the 2026 amended finance bill.
