Senegal's Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko lays out his government's plans in parliament.

Sonko says the government is working to repeal a mass amnesty law passed by former President Macky Sall .

The amnesty law was one of the last major acts of Sall 's former government, though critics claim it was also designed to shield Sall in the future.

He said the government would seek to bolster public finances by "broadening the tax base".
