Rufisque, Jul 19 (APS) – The coalition “Alternative pour une Assemblée de rupture” (Aar-Senegal, opposition) intends to introduce a bill once morest the accumulation of mandates, a practice to which it reiterates its opposition at a time when the campaign for the legislative elections is in full swing, mayors, other local elected officials or ministers redouble their efforts to convince voters.
It is through the voice of Abdourakhmane Diouf, one of its candidates invested on the national list, that the opposition coalition reaffirmed its commitment in this direction, considering that “the period of the deputies-mayors, or ministers -mayors is over”.
“When you were recently mayor of a city, six months ago, you have to be content to do the job for which you were elected, especially since they have enormous difficulty in implementing their programs “, he argued, during a tour in Rufisque.
Abdourakhmane Diouf believes that the mayors have enough to do to afford the luxury of still seeking to be elected following having barely released their scarf.
“The mayors do not have the means and must show great ingenuity to have a balance sheet. And I find that going to another campaign, six months following his election to be a deputy, is not respecting the mandate which was entrusted by the populations”, he lambasted.
He reiterated Aar-Senegal’s opposition ” once morest the accumulation of mandates” and asked the Senegalese to “negatively sanction all those who are asking them for another elective mandate”.
According to him, “Aar Senegal” is “the only one to have presented a legislative contract to tell the people the posture that its elected officials [vont adopter] once in the Assembly, the ideas and programs they will defend”.
“We are the only ones to have presented a legislature contract with points, such as the rehabilitation of the + daaras + [écoles coraniques]the economic patriotism which would make Senegalese companies have the Senegalese economy in their hands”, he underlined, at the end of a caravan which took him to several districts of Rufisque.
He recalled that the deputy has the possibility of making legislative proposals, which, once adapted, have “a real and direct impact” on the life of the populations, before adding that the candidates invested by Aar-Senegal are ” doing the work expected of them by dividing up the work of proximity to the populations”.
The head of the national list of this coalition, Thierno Alassane Sall, was in the south and center of the country on Saturday, the candidate Thierno Bocoum being in Dakar with Marème Soda Ndiaye, the youngest deputy of the 13th legislature, and Théodore Monteil in Kaolack.
