Asked about the proposal to appoint Ousmane Sonko as president of the National Assembly to avoid duality at the top of the State, during his appearance on Radio Sénégal International, Ayib Daffé called for restraint. According to the secretary general of Pastef, those who anticipate this debate should not get involved in current discussions “This question concerns exclusively an internal regulation within our party,” he said.
The parliamentarian, at the same time, underlined the immediate priorities of their party. “Among our main challenges are the adoption of the budget and the creation of a High Court of Justice, an essential legal requirement,” he recalled.
Mr. Daffé also praised the political legacy of Ousmane Sonko as a deputy from 2017 to 2022, emphasizing his exemplary nature in defending the interests of the people and rigorous control of public policies. “Sonko marked a clear break with traditional practices, by asserting clear positions and effectively controlling government action,” he declared this Wednesday morning
To continue this dynamic of change, Mr. Daffé proposed a reform in the management of parliamentary debates.
He suggested inviting journalists to plenary sessions in order to strengthen exchanges between deputies and members of the government. “We aspire to a real break with the practices of the past. The National Assembly must not be a simple extension of the party in power, but the true guarantor of the national project,” said this member of Pastef.
