Senegal’s Justice Minister, Me Moussa Sarr, defended the government’s proposed constitutional amendments before the National Assembly’s Law Commission, responding to a bill initiated by the Pastef parliamentary group. Sarr emphasized the importance of the constitution as the foundation of the republic, advocating for an inclusive approach to any substantial changes involving political actors, the opposition, and civil society. He highlighted Senegal’s history of consultation before major constitutional revisions since 1992, linking this practice to institutional stability. However, the government expressed disagreement with the current process, arguing the proposed changes’ significance warrants broader, more inclusive discussions. The executive branch urged lawmakers to establish a dialogue framework encompassing all stakeholders to foster consensus on these institutional matters. The Minister reaffirmed the government’s commitment to reforms that strengthen democracy, while seeking a more collaborative approach to constitutional change.
