Senegal's revised finance bill stalled between government and National Assembly
A revised finance bill LFR 1 in Senegal, anticipated since June, remains blocked due to a procedural disagreement between the government of Bassirou Diomaye Faye and the National Assembly. Executive services attempted to advance the bill but faced rejection from the Assembly. Sources within the Parliament indicate that the government only submitted the decree related to LFR 1, without including the actual draft law. This omission is considered contrary to established procedure, as the draft law must accompany the decree for deputies to properly review it. Until the full document is submitted, the bill cannot be added to the Assembly's agenda. Both the executive and legislative branches maintain their positions, with neither accepting responsibility for the impasse. The ongoing delay highlights increasing tensions between the executive and legislative powers.
