Senegal’s Constitutional Council has deemed a bill proposed by the Pastef party regarding special credit regulations inadmissible. Deputy Abdou Mbow, not affiliated with Pastef, expressed lack of surprise at the decision, criticizing the opposition’s legislative work as poorly structured and failing to distinguish between regulatory and legislative matters. The Council determined that key aspects of the bill, concerning the management and control of special funds, fall under the power of the executive branch—specifically, regulatory rather than legislative authority. This decision references Article 118 of a 2020 decree and reinforces the boundaries defined in Article 67 of the Constitution. The ruling highlights a debate over the scope of legislative power concerning financial regulations in Senegal. The decision underscores the need for careful drafting of legislation, especially regarding public finances.
