Aldiouma Sow accuses Ousmane Sonko of worsening economic and budgetary tensions
In a strongly worded post, Aldiouma Sow takes aim at Ousmane Sonko over the economic and financial difficulties he attributes to Senegal. He notably refers to the Amending Finance Act, debt and relations between the executive and the National Assembly.
Aldiouma Sow has levelled sharp criticism at Ousmane Sonko, whom he holds partly responsible for Senegal’s current economic and financial difficulties. His statements concern the handling of the Amending Finance Act, the debt issue and institutional tensions.
The Amending Finance Act at the centre of the criticism
According to Aldiouma Sow, delays in examining the Amending Finance Act deprived several public and semi-public bodies of the resources needed to pay salaries on time. He accuses the Prime Minister of holding back government initiatives in favour of a political strategy.
The political figure therefore links this delay to payment difficulties or salary delays affecting certain employees. These points reflect his analysis and allegations in his post.
Debt and lender confidence
Aldiouma Sow also criticises Ousmane Sonko for politicising the debt inherited from the previous administration. He believes that the parliamentary majority is using the National Assembly as part of a strategy of political confrontation.
According to him, this climate is fuelling questions among lenders and could contribute to a downgrade of Senegal’s sovereign rating, while weighing on investor interest. He also calls for the electoral isolation of the political line he associates with Ousmane Sonko, in the name of the country’s stability and future.
No response from Ousmane Sonko or his entourage is reported in the available information.
