With our correspondent in Abidjan, Peter Pinto
” I expect much more initiative and speed from you in the implementation of our program. These are in a few words the instructions of Alassane Ouattara to his new government which he also enjoined to show humility in the exercise of his functions and to act in accordance with the principles of good governance.
On the merits, Alassane Ouattara has already had to present his “roadmap” for the coming year. It was Tuesday in Yamoussoukro. There are of course the temporary measures intended to compensate for inflation, such as the 120 billion FCFA disbursed between January and April to compensate for the surge in the price of petroleum products. But in the longer term, the focus is above all on the transformation and industrialization of the Ivorian economy; on youth employment; and on the fight against corruption. Message received 5/5 and taken up by Patrick Achi in a statement during the Council of Ministers.
Already on Tuesday, the presidential orientations had been well received by parliamentarians of all stripes. ” Let’s take note of these commitments and see what it will give concretely “, had then estimated the opposition deputy Michel Gbagbo of the PPA-CI.
