Senegal Gets Rid Of Its Senate To Save Money by DAVECENA(m): 8:02pm On Apr 19, 2016 |
(CBS/AP) DAKAR, Senegal - Senegalese
lawmakers, who are divided between a
150-seat national assembly and a 100-seat
senate, voted to do away with the senate,
passing a law which dissolves the
institution in order to save an estimated
$15 million.
Minister of Justice Aminata Toure
explained that the suppression Tuesday of
the senate is intended to curb government
spending, and will provide the cash
needed to help the victims of the yearly
rains which have left thousands homeless
and killed at least 13 people.
Unlike the national assembly, the senate is
a relatively recent institution, and has
become a symbol of government waste.
It's been frequently pilloried and described
as an instrument of cronyism, a way to
reward loyal party workers who did not
get elected to the larger national assembly.
Around half the senators are directly
appointed by the president.
Congress also voted to abolish the office of
vice president, establish in 2009 by then-
President Abdoulaye Wade, the BBC
reports. It has not ever been occupied.

We need to stand for our right and say no more senate. But a certain group will protest, since they support corruption or corrupt individuals. |
