Amendement à la proposition de loi sur les crédits spéciaux : les arguments du Gouvernement (Document complet)
As reported yesterday, Thursday, by Seneweb, the Government has introduced an amendment to the draft law concerning the legal framework for special appropriations. In his document, the Minister of Justice, Keeper of the Seals, explains the Government's dual objective.
“First, it clarifies the scope of the law by specifying that the special funds in question are those allocated to the Presidency of the Republic, the National Assembly, and the Prime Minister’s Office,” states Mr. Moussa Sarr in his document. According to him, this clarification allows for a better definition of the text’s purpose and ensures the uniform application of the provisions to the institutions concerned.
The other objective pursued by the Government, he explains, is to refocus Article 1 solely on the domain of the law. "In its initial wording, this article stipulated that the law 'establishes the general rules relating to their implementation and the procedures for their control.' This wording, by itself regulating the procedures for the implementation and control of special appropriations, encroaches, however, on the regulatory domain, as defined by Articles 67 and 76 of the Constitution," the minister indicates.
For him, it is the law's role to establish the fundamental principles of the State's financial system, while the regulatory authority is responsible for determining the procedures for their implementation. Indeed, the Minister of Justice indicates in his document that Article 67 exhaustively lists the scope of the law and refers, for all matters relating to the execution and oversight of finance laws, to the organic law. Article 76, for its part, places within the regulatory domain any matter not included in this list.
"However, article 118 of decree no. 2020-978 of April 23, 2020, concerning the general regulations on public accounting, has already covered this ground, by entrusting to a decree issued on the proposal of the Minister in charge of Finance the adjustments made to the procedures for commitment, liquidation, ordering, payment, justification and control of expenditures made," he said.
Mr. Sarr adds that the content, execution and control of budgetary credits fall within the specific domain of the organic law relating to finance laws, as provided for in article one of organic law no. 2020-07 of February 26, 2020. "An ordinary law cannot, without encountering this reservation of competence, set the modalities itself," he specifies.
Thus, the Minister of Justice explains that the provision is now limited to defining the concept of special credits, circumscribing their scope to the Presidency of the Republic, the National Assembly and the Prime Minister's Office, and establishing the principle of their control, the modalities of which will be set by regulation, in compliance with the provisions of the organic law relating to finance laws.
Ultimately, in the amendment, Article 1 of the proposed law is worded as follows:
"Article 1. - This law defines the special credits allocated to the Presidency of the Republic, the National Assembly and the Prime Minister's Office, and delimits their scope of application.
It establishes the principle of controlling these appropriations. The procedures for this control are set by decree, in accordance with the provisions of the organic law relating to finance laws.

Donc la vraie question est simple : qu’est-ce qui a changé entre la promesse d’hier et la position d’aujourd’hui ?
Sachez que souventes fois , les conditions et modalités de mise en oeuvre d'une loi sont précisées dans un décret dit d'APPLICATION .. Ce décret n'est pas pris n'importe comment , mais plutôt en accord avec les rédacteurs de ladite loi qu'il est sensé precisé.
Tous les fonds ou crédits spéciaux d’intervention sociale d’aide et secours politiques de toutes les institutions presidence Assemblée nationale primature ministères agences seront soumis à un régime de contrôle et de vérification de leur utilisation
Voilà ce qui se joue.
