Expulsion d'Abdou Mbow : Djibo Soumaré accuse Ousmane Sonko d'avoir outrepassé ses pouvoirs
The incidents that occurred yesterday, Monday, at the National Assembly continue to provoke strong reactions. This Tuesday, during the plenary session devoted to the budget orientation debate, Djibo Soumaré, a member of parliament from the Takku-Wallu group, sharply criticized the handling of this episode by the Speaker of the National Assembly, Ousmane Sonko.
Referring to the expulsion of his colleague Abdou Mbow from the chamber, Djibo Soumaré argued that the latter had a full right to speak, under Article 73 of the Rules of Procedure of the National Assembly.
According to him, Abdou Mbow was then confronted by two members of the majority before the Speaker of the Assembly requested his removal by law enforcement officers.
"Ousmane Sonko has overstepped his bounds," said the MP for Takku-Wallu, arguing that all parliamentarians are equal within the institution and that the Speaker of the Assembly cannot act beyond the powers conferred upon him by the Rules of Procedure.
Djibo Soumaré called on the Speaker of the National Assembly to guarantee respect for the rights of all members of parliament, whether they belong to the majority or the opposition. He also demanded sanctions against the two members of parliament he accuses of having assaulted Abdou Mbow in the chamber.
Expanding on his remarks, the parliamentarian referred to an "institutional crisis" and asserted that the project implemented by the new authorities had failed to meet the expectations of the Senegalese people. In his view, it is now up to the President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, to draw the necessary conclusions.
"It is up to the President of the Republic to dissolve the National Assembly and give the Senegalese people a voice again," concluded Djibo Soumaré.
