Recommendations submitted to the government

El Malick Ndiaye announced that the recommendations made at the end of the work will be formally transmitted to the government so that appropriate follow-up can be given.

The National Assembly, for its part, intends to monitor their implementation within the framework of its constitutional prerogatives of control.

"For its part, the national representation will ensure, within the framework of its constitutional prerogatives of control, that regular monitoring of their implementation and assessment of the measures actually taken by the administrations and bodies concerned," he said.
