Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:05]He has the right to speak under Article 79.

[00:00:08]By virtue of 79.

[00:00:10]My, be quiet.

[00:00:11]Master, master, please. Sir, please.

[00:00:14]Be quiet.

[00:00:15]I will now proceed to read article 79. Tafsir Cha, please.

[00:00:21]He has the right to speak as many times as he wishes. Members of the government, chairpersons and rapporteurs of committees are given the floor when they request it to provide insights into the work of a committee. A member. Thank you, Mr. President.

[00:00:37]That's very clear.

[00:00:40]Thank you very much, Mr. President, for the reminder. So what are we talking about then, Mr. President?

[00:00:45]But that relates to the committee work on the report. We must stop the president, we must call him to order. He can't be there, causing our trouble from the beginning.

[00:00:58]He is making the atmosphere toxic and you have no right to do that.

[00:01:08]Here's the trap: Article 80, Article 89 of the Rules of Procedure, legislative procedure.

[00:01:22]When you're in bad faith, Article 89, concerning amendments, states that counter-proposals and amendments are submitted in writing. If they occur before committee discussions, they are communicated to the relevant committee. If possible, print and distribute the amendment. To intervene in committee, print and distribute it. Follow the same procedure as outlined in Article 90 on discussions. Otherwise, if there's a contrary opinion, the president is the rapporteur for the committee. If they intervene in plenary session, so whether it's in committee or in plenary session, an amendment introduced in committee doesn't come back here. If it's adopted, an amendment that was introduced for the first time in committee must be adopted.

[00:02:38]But, president, each time, please, please, to save time, try to pull a fast one or mislead, abuse the use of Article 83.

[00:02:56]Preliminary question and question for who is abusing it, who is being misused, an untimely and misguided use.

[00:03:01]of article 83 for advertising rights, thank you very much, thank you honourable, he will speak, he will speak.

[00:03:23]You can accuse me of all the north birds, there is no problem. Go talk.

[00:03:27]I am speaking on the basis of Article 79 of the Rules of Procedure as rapporteur and to shed light on the work of the committee and also to confirm the chairman of the committee, since it was I who introduced these amendments and these amendments were duly adopted. Everything else is just dilation, manipulation, disinformation, fabrication, mythomania, and mercenary work. So there you have it, and these delaying tactics will not succeed. So, in any case, we propose to the assembly that we reject this preliminary question and continue our work calmly. So.

[00:04:10]Calmly, serenely, and truly to continue the legislative process. We must not allow troublemakers, who only represent themselves, to disrupt our work. So I think that the National Assembly must, in any case, do its work normally, with dignity, serenity, and respect for this institution.

[00:04:40]But for some time now, we have noted that gratuitous attacks are being made against the National Assembly, its administration, its services for unavowed reasons to engage in parliamentary mercenary work, people who came to the strongest rest instead of representing their mandate. They dignifiedly come each time to disrupt the work, inventing provisions that they never read because what they just said, they haven't read any article to say that it should happen like that.

[00:05:25]Parliamentary law, so this form of falsification, this form of unbridled parliamentary activism, huh? No, we don't know what motivates him, what drives him.

[00:06:02]He's a puppet president because, fundamentally, to support his preliminary question, we must continue the legislative procedure, and normally, thank you, your preliminary question.

[00:06:36]Continue, continue, the general discussion is open. Is that clear for everyone?

[00:07:20]You have to ask through the system.

[00:07:23]Oh, you don't have a card?

[00:07:26]You take the floor. Is that okay for everyone?

[00:07:34]Your list is closed.

[00:07:42]I will proceed to read. Tafsir Choy Barjay Sering Abdul Ahad Njern Alassan Sal Pape Dibril Fal Fatou Diob Siss Abdouah Ital non a Daf Abdoual ou c'est bon ils vont parler en dernier Taps vous avez la parole. Please, please.

[00:08:57]Uh, my dear colleagues, go ahead.

[00:09:05]Thank you, Mr. President.

[00:09:07]Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen of the government, dear colleagues, I would just like to point out that Mr. President of the National Assembly, you have violated our internal regulations and history will have to remember this. That's something I wanted to say.

[00:09:20]The second thing, the second thing, the second thing, this text that we are studying, examining, I say it again and again, it is not the text that we deliberated here, we adopted.

[00:09:33]And that deliberation, that deliberation, was sent to the President of the Republic. And according to the first speaker, the president of the Assembly, he told us that it was a clerical error. A clerical error is a vowel or a word that we forgot to put in. That's the equipment. But the profound modification at the level of the explanatory memorandum, the modification of the articles of the law after it had been adopted, is a modification which is not a material error and the president of AF said so yesterday in committee.

[00:10:07]So, to amend a law, to vote in the National Assembly, it is dangerous and I don't know the reasons, I don't know the reasons, but history will remember that this law that the president brought back to us so that the deliberations of the Republic in the name of the people because because it is the republic.

[00:11:38]Thank you.

[00:11:41]Thank you very much Bar, you have the floor.

[00:12:09]Assalam alkum m president minister because Fou tafsir tafsir tafsir the commentary everyone understands because missionary by force and the 29 and the 200000 mission by force president of the Republic president of the national assembly You have the floor is being prepared.

[00:15:08]President Assalam Alum, President Minister Marie Rose of Senegal.

[00:15:45]So here is Parliamentary Marie, which means that responsible, responsible, France, anyone, Minister of the Republic, responsibility, recommended, President present please. No, please stop, honorable man.

[00:17:09]Speaker modest bismillah.

[00:17:15]So, Mr. President, please, because simply Senegalese, Isma [grunt][throat clearing] please please please Ismaël please please can you stay on the subject please on the subject for No, good Mr. President no question move forward.

[00:19:10]Go for it.

[00:19:14]Internal party democracy, expression, discussion, democracy.

[00:20:32]Marie, you are still in charge, you have the floor please, please.

[00:21:45]No. 60 words. Pap Dibrilf is getting ready. Please, please. We'll finish, Alassan Sal, you have the floor. Pape Dibril Fal is preparing. Please, please.

[00:22:27]We can't start. No, we can't start. Not calm.

[00:22:33]Mr. President, Mr. Minister, Madam Secretary of State, dear colleagues, I wanted to say all this for that.

[00:22:42]All that for this.

[00:22:46]The Senegalese voted 54% majority Africa of the saitan yakarniopek at the moment we would debate projects we would debate vision for Senegal but for a year we hoped the youth hoped that Senegal would finally emerge Africa you look at the whole world you look and hope that Senegal will set an example but July 2025 election campaign també the prime minister started how did he shoot the president the president roste and today it is not surprising that the National Assembly of Senegal you shout against me but the whole people watch you and shout against you the whole people watch you in thumbs up National Assembly Senegal Sag terrorize people to prevent them from speaking. That's what a permanent election campaign between a president and a prime minister looks like. Throughout his term, the President of the Republic will not be in love to talk to the youth of Bourg, not to talk to the fishermen of Bourg, not to say how they kept their promises that fishing licenses will allow fish to be brought back into the basket of the Senegalese. Senegal franc, Senegal, Senegalese, because it was the opposite that was surprising in power, that Senegal is not the country in the world where it insists the most, where the National Assembly of Senegal gives this example, that would have surprised me. Prove us wrong by remaining silent. Prove me wrong by behaving appropriately. We, the Republic, the Republic is unfortunately breaking down and you will bear a heavy responsibility.

[00:25:19]History in Senegal: the sad times we are currently experiencing.

[00:25:32]General Assembly, it is not the deputies who have the Republic, who have the dignity that the Republic confers upon them, you have decided not to listen even to the one who precedes him who is from your party, you want to silence him because that is what passive compatriot of Africa, patriot of Africa, is that the Senegal that you had hoped for, which will set an example for Africa. You all applauded enthusiastically when there was a change of power. 54% in the first round, an absolute majority. But unfortunately, we have before us two executive leaders who, from the very first moments of taking power, from July 25, 2025, the prime minister began to fire the first shots of a mandate under an election campaign. You have a president of the Republic who has the courage to dissolve the National Assembly. He did it once, he may do it a second time, but who doesn't have the courage to take responsibility for the Prime Minister and dismiss him? And this Republic, we hoped it would set an example for Africa, showing what Africa can do after seeing the enemy everywhere, France, the United States everywhere, today the enemy is within.

[00:27:15]The enemy is constantly plotting. When they have no enemies, they invent some, and when they cannot find any, they find some in their own ranks, among their own deputies, among the President of the Republic, among the Prime Minister. You are incapable, you will be incapable of solving any problems in Senegal. You will plunge Senegal into chaos. That's what awaits us. Sit back before it's too late. Let those of you who still have some brains tell the others that you must stop before it is too late, that you cannot play with this Republic, that you are not given a mandate to destroy this Republic simply because there are 130 of you.

[00:27:54]You do not have the right to behave like this and to set a bad example for Senegal. But for God's sake, spell it out.

[00:28:34]Honourable, please, please, please, Pope, you have the floor. The Honourable colleague, the press, Mr. President of the National Assembly, is preparing.

[00:29:00]Politics is an extremely serious matter.

[00:29:04]The National Assembly is not a playground.

[00:29:15]We are capable of doing better.

[00:29:17]National Assembly, please. You are welcome. Please cut everyone out. Please, let's respect the house rules. Let people have their say, then you'll have the floor, please. Otherwise we're not going to get out of this. Go for it.

[00:29:40]National Assembly, ministers, administration of the National Assembly, respect, we are 18 million Senegalese, 165, 18 million, uh, Saturday, March 28, the president, the prime minister, Saturday, March 28, 2026, Saturday, March 28, 2026, the prime minister, dead, inaugurate the political headquarters for, to inaugurate, some, for, but, for, headquarters, April 3, model, Caroline Fumbour stadium, meeting, meeting, jogi, the 9th, president of the Republic, del, meeting, our, electoral department, electoral, and I think that, awareness, awareness, responsibility, the Senegalese are extremely tired.

[00:31:39]And today, put yourselves at the service of the Senegalese people.

[00:31:48]We are 90 days away from the TBA magazine.

[00:31:55]The electoral process is underway.

[00:32:36]Take care of the Senegalese people, and the Senegalese will take care of 2029.

[00:32:50]And I tell you this as a Senegalese citizen.

[00:32:58]Senegal has been in power for over 80 years because of responsibility. Rise above it all and live up to the dignity of your various functions, whether it be the presidency, the office, or representing the people. You are not here by proxy, meaning you are not here by an imperative mandate. That's true, but once again, know that you are here on behalf of the Senegalese people, and the least you can do is represent them with dignity.

[00:34:09]And above all, thank you very much, Madam.

[00:34:19]You have the floor.

[00:34:27]Assalam alikum warahmatullah president, I am more shocked because I am shocked, but let's move forward.

[00:34:44]Mr. Minister of the Interior, dear Bamba Mangl, Madam Secretary of State, dear Marie Rose, my dear colleagues, Mr. President, our rapporteur for the day, ladies and gentlemen of the administrative staff and our collaborators of the ministry, dear people of my homeland TIB Rumi, Reumi diaspora, assalam alkoum, the parliamentary group Les Patriotes will vote in this second reading of the proposed law L29 L30 as much as necessary, do not be discouraged. Perseverance is necessary when the will of the people must be respected even in the face of obstacles. We will vote for it because we will assume at all times the political commitment made before the Senegalese people on the framework of the facts are simple. The difference between the two versions sent to the President of the Republic are two technical clarifications and these are our amendments regularly adopted in plenary session on April 28.

[00:35:44]It's a clerical error. So yes, we will reread it, we will vote on it again because perfection is in our DNA.

[00:35:51]Dear colleagues, resilience and perseverance are our strengths.

[00:35:55]Kenvulen Jamnan, there is some opposition when he sees Pastef as resilient and determined to do everything to achieve its objectives of respecting the word given to the Senegalese people.

[00:36:05]This opposition remains on the sidelines, clinging to its teeth, thinking that Pastef, which claims to be its own opposition, is in vain. There is no crisis in our ranks. Pastef will remain faithful to its political and moral commitments because it must fulfill its will to lead, guided by its dear leader Marie Rose, our 166th deputy of the " women of the air" project. To attribute this failure to intellectual and political dishonesty, to question your rigor, to deny your qualitative reform since your arrival as government spokesperson, your results at the DPM speak for you.

[00:36:52]Those who think they can be clever by attacking your professionalism should first make sure they are as loyal and rigorous as you, because buzz is not generated by their practices. Mr. President of the National Assembly, we wish to encourage and congratulate you on the courageous reforms you have been carrying out since taking office. You have won, you have committed this institution to modernization. We must continue, we must go further, and to all the administrative staff who support you in these reforms, who adhere to them with loyalty and selflessness, we say thank you to these agencies, these managers, these directors who work hard with conscience and professionalism. Without you, the institution cannot function. You are the backbone of the parliamentary Dubti. We see you, we support you. But if our problems lie with this part of the administration that supports us, a decision must be made, Mr. President. We need to strengthen capacities through adaptability to ongoing modernization.

[00:37:52]Persistence, uh, error is certainly human, but persistence is a fault. More rigorous work, regardless of the urgency, should be a glory for reforms. We need a structural change to these services.

[00:38:04]The MPs are working hard. They must not see their work torpedoed.

[00:38:08]There are mistakes that cannot be forgiven, especially when dealing with a president who is more political than above the fray. So, Mr. President, in these moments of our majority, the political aspect would be to react by ourselves with dignity and determination, and let things be clear.

[00:38:31]I take this opportunity to tell the procat and the ngaraleur to keep their misme because they will want to know that Ousman is kek and not just anyone, for fear of a mandate acquired on the basis of our commitment and our determination and let things be clear to the veiled attacks poorly assumed against pastef we will respond with loyalty by actions our rent vi towards Ousman is the project and the people of Senegal whoever seeks to oppose the institutions is mistaken. Past is not a partitive, it is a project, and this project governs Lolo Dafwara the air.

[00:39:16]But this mandate must necessarily rest our Dubai project. The one through which the Senegalese gave us the majority is this reinterpretation. If this review is proof that the institutions work, then so much the better, because we decided to carry out our mission out of a sense of duty. Alhamdillah.

[00:39:34]The final decision rests with the members of parliament and today this law will be validated again. We reiterate our objective to blow up the worms in government.

[00:39:57]Thank you very much Abdouah, you have the floor.

[00:40:01]A da se prepares. The debate aims to get to the heart of the law, but unfortunately, it's the same old story, the same old song, delaying us again and again.

[00:40:42]This won't happen, perhaps due to an incident of responsibility. What concerns us is the Senegalese people, the deliberation, the violation of the nation, because the law is unconstitutional in this sense. Why didn't the Takwalou group appeal to the Constitutional Council to challenge its unconstitutionality and have what the National Assembly voted on overturned? To tell you that, according to Article 73 of the Constitution, the President of the Republic can refer the matter back to me for a second deliberation.

[00:42:11]The text clearly states that a simple reasoned message is sufficient, so it's a provision. But the same text says that the suspension suspends the appeal period.

[00:42:31]In fact, the suspension means that the response to the appeal before the Constitutional Council, which is 6 days, is suspended for 48 hours pending its review. A reminder: the promulgation by the President of the Republic is published in the Official Journal. A law enters into force upon its promulgation. adoption by the National Assembly out of republican elegance.

[00:43:22]to effectively address the means of appeal, but the law is applicable because it is voted in plenary session by the body empowered, the sovereign body to vote on the law is the National Assembly. It covers everything except the essentials.

[00:43:44]The people are watching us. We are told about the electoral process, we are told about the electoral law, we are told about the second reading, we are told about the national dialogue and the conclusions of the national dialogue, even if there is agreement or disagreement.

[00:44:02]The National Assembly has taken its responsibilities before history and the whole world to pronounce or decide on a question which falls within its competence, namely a law, the electoral code.

[00:44:17]For the President of the Republic, Senegalese parliamentarians, and government, a hearing on the evaluation of the path for the execution of the 2026 budget. This is a first, it is beneficial, it is for the vitality of our administration and our democracy and to allow the Senegalese to know that indeed this National Assembly, a worthy man, is an assembly worthy of its name, a worthy representative of the people.

[00:45:06]Quite frankly, it's disappointing to hear part of the opposition speak like this. This brings shame upon the Senegalese people. It doesn't reflect well on you at all, electoral seriousness, election, election of elections, that we change the rules of the electoral game, thank you, thank you honourable, thank you.

[00:46:10]THANKS. THANKS.

[00:46:16]Honourable gentleman, you have the floor.

[00:46:30]Salam alaikum. Thank you very much, Mr. President.

[00:46:33]Dear colleagues, Mr. Minister of the Interior and Public Security, Madam Secretary of State in charge of relations with institutions, provision 73 of the Wahni Constitution, within the time limit set for promulgation, the President of the Republic may, by a reasoned message, request the National Assembly to hold a new deliberation which cannot be refused.

[00:47:17]The bill, the proposed law adopted on April 28, 2026, can only be voted on in a second reading if 3/5ths of the members composing the National Assembly have voted in favour of it.

[00:47:43]April 28, 2026, second reading vote.

[00:47:49]What happens if the National Assembly, a deputy, therefore the President of the Republic, presents the National Assembly confirmation vote on April 28, 2026?

[00:48:22]Committee report, journal of debates, mercenary bill, committee, more than 40 amendments, session, because, well, huh?

[00:49:38]But as usual, always moralizing, majority, deputy, moralizing speech, persuasion.

[00:50:26]So, dear colleagues, on April 2026, the President of the Republic requests a second deliberation on the constitution. Second deliberation on April 28, 2026, confirms that the constitutional constitution is a controversial matter. The President of the Republic, the National Assembly, a deputy, also has a second reading.

[00:51:25]The new deliberation, I think, is for the administration to accuse the administration.

[00:52:00]So, dear colleagues, confirm on April 28, 2026. Thank you, my dear colleagues. The general discussion is now closed. We will now proceed to the vote on the articles of the text of the law.

[00:52:18]President of the Republic, rapporteur, committee work.

[00:53:02]Mr. Rapporteur, you have the floor for Article 1.
