Aminata Touré says 50 air tickets to Mecca intended for MPs were given to Ousmane Sonko and came from special funds. She made the allegations on 8 November 2026 at a Kiiraay rally in Kaolack, according to Dakaractu.
Aminata Touré, general supervisor of the Senegalese Kiiraay party, says 50 air tickets to Mecca came from special funds and had been given to Ousmane Sonko to distribute to MPs. She made the remarks on Sunday 8 November 2026 at a Kiiraay rally in Kaolack, according to Dakaractu.
Aminata Touré says the 50 tickets were then given to Ayib Daffé, a Senegalese MP. She also accused MPs from the Pastef majority of refusing to approve funding for several projects, including the future Kaolack hospital and family allowances, during her speech in Kaolack, reports Dakaractu.
The rally brought together representatives from the 14 communes of Kaolack department. Aminata Touré also criticised the rejection of supplementary and initial finance bills by Pastef-majority MPs, according to Dakaractu.
The rally took place after several positions had been expressed on funding for the future Kaolack hospital and the rejection of the supplementary finance bill. On 25 October, PASTEF was questioned in Kaolack about funding for the future hospital. On 31 October, the rejection of the supplementary budget also raised questions about Senegal’s public finances.
