« Il est absent ? En vacances ? Évanescent ? » : Aïssata Tall Sall pilonne l'Exécutif face à la hausse des prix
Beyond the debate on institutional reforms and the asset declarations of top state officials, Aïssata Tall Sall called on members of parliament to return to the daily concerns of Senegalese citizens. During her address to the National Assembly on Tuesday during the plenary session examining the Labor Code and the Social Security Code, the MP argued that Parliament should dedicate more time to the economic and social difficulties faced by the population. "Since yesterday, we have been debating, discussing, sometimes even bickering over the asset declarations of the President of the Republic, the President of the National Assembly, and the Prime Minister," she noted. But for her, this discussion should not overshadow the essential issue: the concerns expressed daily by citizens. "Do we, the elected representatives of the people, talk about the declarations of hardship that Senegalese citizens send us every day and every evening in their homes?" she asked.
Aïssata Tall Sall does not reject the principle of parliamentary inquiries, particularly into political funds. However, she believes that members of parliament must also focus on the "real difficulties" faced by households. "They want to investigate political funds. Perhaps the debate will take place tomorrow. Fine, let's debate political funds. But shouldn't we also be investigating the difficulties, the real difficulties faced by Senegalese people?" she asked.
The MP expressed particular concern about the announced increase in fuel prices. She believes such a measure risks having a domino effect on prices, especially those of basic necessities. "This increase will structure and impact all prices, and especially food prices," she warned. Faced with this situation, she directly challenged the government on its communication and engagement with the public. "Meanwhile, where is the government? Is it absent? Is it on vacation? Has it vanished?" she asked.
For Aïssata Tall Sall, the National Assembly should not only be the forum for major institutional debates. It must also be the space where citizens' concrete difficulties are raised: purchasing power, the cost of living, fuel prices, and their impact on households. "The people are suffering," she concluded, implicitly calling on the executive branch and members of parliament to put the daily concerns of Senegalese citizens back at the heart of public debate.
