Alioune Souaré (Expert) : «L'Assemblée nationale, à travers sa commission des finances, se trompe lourdement...»
Following the rejection of the 2026 Amending Finance Bill, the chairman of the National Assembly's Finance and Budget Control Committee asked the government to withdraw the 2027 Initial Finance Bill. He stated that the rejection of the 2026 Amending Finance Bill called into question the underlying assumptions of the 2027 budget and requested a revised budget based on the 2026 Initial Finance Bill. Alioune Souaré, a specialist in parliamentary affairs, believes the committee chairman is mistaken. His statement is below.
"The Dpbep (multi-year economic budget programming document) is the only planning reference that forms the basis for the preparation of the initial state budget in three years.
Article 51 of the Organic Law on Budget Laws (LOLF) stipulates: "The draft budget law for the year is drawn up with reference to the multi-year budgetary and economic programming document covering a minimum period of three years."
The National Assembly, through its finance and budget control committee, is seriously mistaken in its press release, in considering the LFR as the foundation on which the 2027 budget is built.
No legislative or regulatory provision states this. It is unacceptable to engage in such abuses, such as demanding that the Government withdraw the Finance Bill! Rejecting the Amending Finance Bill cannot in any way prevent the examination of the 2027 Finance Bill!
Article 5 of the Organic Law on Budget Laws (LOLF) indicates the purpose of each of the finance laws (Initial Budget Law, Amending Budget Law, Settlement Law); it does not invoke any conditions for the withdrawal of the Initial Budget Law following the rejection of the Amending Budget Law.
