Rejection of the 2026 Finance Law: Four MPs from Thiès targeted by the mayors of Kiiraay

Tensions are rising in Thiès after the rejection of the amending finance law (LFR) 2026. In a statement of indignation, the mayors of KIIRAAY – The Republican Patriots openly challenge four deputies of the department and demand that they explain the consequences of their position for the people.

The battle surrounding the 2026 supplementary budget law has taken a new turn in Thiès. The mayors of the KIIRAAY – Republican Patriots movement have broken their silence and directly challenged Amadou Bâ, Félicité Sarr, Djiby Ciss, and Amy Dabo. Their message is clear: the department's representatives in the National Assembly must be held accountable to the citizens.

In their statement, local elected officials denounce the risks that rejecting the budget bill could pose to the people of Thiès. In their view, refusing to vote on the 2026 Finance Law without clearly explaining the consequences of this decision raises a fundamental question of political responsibility.

Women, young people, workers, the elderly and people living with disabilities: mayors are warning of the potential repercussions of such a decision on the resources intended to improve the living conditions of these different categories of the population.

Four MPs summoned, accountability demanded

The mayors of Kiiraay are not simply denouncing the situation. They are demanding public explanations for the rejection of the 2026 Finance Law and are asking the four members of parliament to clarify the consequences of their position on the projects and services expected by the people of the department.

For these local elected officials, parliamentary representation implies an obligation to be accountable. They therefore call on Amadou Bâ, Félicité Sarr, Djiby Ciss, and Amy Dabo to explain their choice and demonstrate how it serves the interests of the citizens of Thiès.

This interpellation places the MPs concerned in the face of a demand for public clarification, while budgetary issues are directly associated, in the discourse of mayors, with social expectations and prospects for local development.

Another point of concern is the future of the department's major infrastructure projects. The mayors of Kiiraay fear that the rejection of the budget law will jeopardize the resources needed to carry out projects eagerly awaited by the local population.

In this context, they call on the driving forces of Thiès to remain mobilized to preserve development initiatives and defend the interests of citizens.

The signatories emphasize one principle: public resources must contribute concretely to improving living conditions. They believe that decisions made in the National Assembly must be accompanied by clear explanations of their implications for local areas and their inhabitants.

The budget debate enters the local arena

With this statement, the mayors of Kiiraay intend to refocus the debate on the 2026 Finance Law on its potential consequences for the people of Thiès. Their approach aims to obtain public answers from the relevant members of parliament and to place local issues at the heart of budget discussions.

It now remains to be seen what explanations the parliamentarians involved will give and what the concrete consequences of rejecting the 2026 Finance Law will be on the projects and services mentioned by local elected officials.

In Thiès, the mayors' message is unequivocal: they demand accountability and call for mobilization to defend the interests of the department.
