Senegal: Constitutional reforms and legislative-executive rj

Overview

The Senegalese government is pursuing an amendment to Article 37 of the Constitution to expand mandatory asset declarations. Following the National Assembly’s passage of the amendment on August 16, 2026, Justice Minister Moussa Sarr announced that President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has chosen to submit the revision to a referendum in accordance with Article 103. Legislative tensions persist regarding the management of special credits. While the Bureau of the National Assembly previously approved an organic law proposal to integrate special funds into the organic law relative to finance laws for better supervision, recent sessions have seen direct conflict. During a session on October 1, 2026, the National Assembly rejected all government amendments regarding the regulation of these funds. Minister Moussa Sarr attempted to utilize a ‘blocked vote’ procedure to ensure compliance with UEMOA directives, but the legislature dismissed the effort. Opposition deputies, such as Ayib Daffé, characterized the government’s arguments as ‘legal jargon’ designed to bypass public commitments. Regarding healthcare for incarcerated individuals, the Assembly also moved forward with a proposal to modernize the legal framework for medical follow-up in prisons. Despite attempts by opposition members Thierno Alassane Sall and Abdou Mbow to suspend the debate due to political tensions and concerns over revenue proposals, the Assembly rejected these motions and proceeded with the examination of the text. Fiscal disputes have escalated into a significant parliamentary deadlock. Following the rejection of the 2026 amended finance bill by the Finance Committee, the National Assembly’s Finance and Budgetary Control Commission rejected the 2026 supplementary budget bill (PLFR) after sessions held on October 20 and October 23. Despite the government providing a memorandum of responses addressing concerns over revenue forecasts, public investment programming, and energy subsidies, the bill failed.
