Aminata Touré, a high-ranking official overseeing the ruling coalition, has strongly criticized former Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko regarding the recent controversy over political funds. Touré stated that no previous Senegalese Prime Minister has had access to special funds of the scale Sonko reportedly received. She emphasized that all past Prime Ministers – including herself – can attest to never benefiting from such allocations, and that any funds received should be transparently accounted for in public records. Touré highlighted inconsistencies in Sonko’s statements, noting his initial denial of receiving funds followed by a later public acknowledgment. She questioned the source of the 1.7 billion CFA franc sum Sonko mentioned, suggesting a lack of transparency. Touré asserted she would imprison anyone falsely accusing her of having political funds, contrasting this with Sonko's evolving account.
