Senegal tightens asset disclosure rules amid Faye-Sonko rift

Senegal's parliament has approved a new law that requires the country's top officials to disclose and publish their assets. This includes the president, prime minister, and speaker of parliament, who will have to declare their assets both when they take office and when they leave. The law aims to increase transparency and accountability in government, which could help to reduce corruption and improve trust in public institutions. This move is significant as it comes amid a growing political rift between President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and former prime minister Ousmane Sonko.
