In a strong statement, Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko announced on Friday evening that the new members of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye’s government will no longer be able to hold multiple positions. This announcement comes after the publication of the government’s composition and reflects the commitment made during the electoral campaign.
According to President Faye’s strict instructions, as relayed by Prime Minister Sonko, all appointed ministers have one month to resign from their elective positions in local authorities or the National Assembly. “All appointed ministers have one month to resign from their elective positions (local authorities or National Assembly) and focus exclusively on government tasks,” he announced.
This measure aims to ensure that ministers focus exclusively on their government responsibilities. The practice of holding multiple positions has long been criticized due to potential conflicts of interest and its impact on the availability and effectiveness of ministers. President Diomaye Faye and his government team intend to send a strong signal of their commitment to exemplary governance and a public administration dedicated to serving the country.
