The president of the Benno Bokk Yakaar parliamentary group, Abdou Mbow, returned to the cancellation of the budget orientation debate session. He announced, this Saturday, that the budget orientation debate at the National Assembly was cancelled following the meeting of the bureau of the said Assembly which met to note what happened following the exit of the Prime Minister yesterday (Friday) who decided not to come to make his general policy statement. Because he does not “consider the National Assembly, and he was going to make his general policy statement (DPG) in the street”, said Abdou Mbow.
He specifies that ”Senegal is not a public street, Senegal is a republic”. This is why the office decided to postpone the budgetary orientation debate today.
According to him, the “conference of presidents was informed and they asked the President of the National Assembly to contact the President of the Republic so that this problem can be resolved.”
Beyond the budget orientation debate, the president of the parliamentary group Benno Bokk Yakaar, maintains that “responsibility would require that the Prime Minister who is forced by article 55 to come and make his general policy statement before the National Assembly respects this”.
For Abdou Mbow, Ousmane Sonko is afraid of intellectual confrontation.
