Affaire Softcare : les députés défient le ministre de la Santé et...
The Softcare products (diapers and sanitary napkins) case is turning into an institutional battle. Despite assurances from the Minister of Health, Ibrahima Sy, who recently stated that the brand's products pose no health risks, the Parliamentary Fact-Finding Mission refuses to close the case.
Parliament invokes its constitutional mission
As reported by Le Quotidien, the MPs announced they would continue their investigations until April 5, stating they were acting within their constitutional mandate to oversee government action. The mission, chaired by MP Khady Sarr, is thus maintaining the pressure.
In a statement seen by the daily newspaper of the Avenir Communication group, the parliamentarians reaffirmed their prerogative:
"Regardless of recent communications [...] our work continues," the document states, emphasizing that the conclusions of the ad hoc committee set up by the government do not in any way mark the end of the investigations.
A thorough audit and a public debate are planned.
Demonstrating the importance attached to this case, the Bureau of the National Assembly of Senegal has officially extended the mission's mandate. This additional time will allow the members of parliament to further analyze the technical documents, establish a rigorous chronology of events, and verify the traceability of the findings as well as any potential administrative responsibilities.
The National Assembly, however, does not intend to stop at a simple internal report. After the final document is submitted, expected in early April, a public debate in plenary session is already planned, "in accordance with the principles of transparency and accountability."
