Levée de l’immunité parlementaire de Farba Ngom : l’opposition dénonce « une procédure ridicule » et un « recul démocratique »
The procedure to lift the parliamentary immunity of MP Farba Ngom was initiated this Monday during a plenary session of the National Assembly with the establishment of the ad hoc committee. Speaking on the sidelines of the parliamentary proceedings, MP Abdou Mbow, on behalf of the opposition, strongly criticized the government's initiative, which he described as a "ridiculous session" and a threat to Senegalese democracy.
According to him, the request made by the Ministry of Justice is based on ludicrous grounds. "Today we witnessed a session that jeopardizes Senegalese democracy. The Minister of Justice is requesting the lifting of our colleague's parliamentary immunity in a case involving two cell phones, while the country has seen prosecutions involving sums of 125 billion. Ridiculousness no longer kills in this country," he declared.
Furthermore, the parliamentarian believes this procedure reflects a desire to silence the opposition and restrict political freedoms. He accuses the current regime of being incapable of addressing urgent social concerns. "Today we have a government that seeks to stifle freedoms. Students are experiencing extremely difficult situations; some are reduced to preparing their own meals just to feed themselves. Meanwhile, the president is on an economic tour and the prime minister is on a political tour," he denounced.
The MP also mentioned a tense social climate, marked, according to him, by strikes and increasing economic difficulties. He believes that the government's priorities should focus on the social situation of Senegalese citizens rather than on legal proceedings targeting political figures.
In a particularly aggressive tone, he accused the government of wanting to establish an authoritarian regime. "We will not remain inactive in the face of what we consider an attempt to install fascism in this country," he declared.
