A very political government, tensions within the RHDP, arrivals that question or probable conflicts of jurisdiction … Here are the five things to know about the new government of Amadou Gon Coulibaly, formed Tuesday, July 10.
Côte d'Ivoire has a new government since Tuesday, July 10th. An eminently political change, which may hardly calm tensions between allies. Between losers and winners, should not we fear future conflicts of jurisdiction? Here are five things to know about this new government
1. A political government
What immediately strikes you is its number: 36 ministers, including the Prime Minister, five secretaries of state and two ministers to the President of the Republic. This "bloated government", denounced by media close to the opposition, is essentially political: it is dominated by the Rally of Houphouetists for Democracy and Peace (RHDP, Presidential Movement).
The Rally of Republicans (RDR) Alassane Ouattara) is the lion's share, with 25 posts, against 12 for the Democratic Party of Côte d'Ivoire (PDCI Henri Konan Bédié), two for the Union for Democracy and Peace in Cote d Ivory (UDPCI)
Small parties, such as the Movement of Forces for the Future (MFA) and the Ivorian Workers Party (PIT), have respectively a Secretary of State and a Minister. As for civil society, two posts have been allocated to it
2. Tensions within the RHDP
Clearly, this new government should not ease tensions between President Alassane Ouattara and his great ally Henri Konan Bédié. "By renewing the initiating ministers of" In the footsteps of Houphouet-Boigny "political current disapproved by Bedie, Ouattara is an affront to his ally. Moreover, contrary to his habits, the President of the Republic did not take care, for the formation of this government, to request a list of ministers to the president of the PDCI. This will leave traces, "comments a friend of Bedie, interviewed by Young Africa .
According to some indiscretions, the PDCI could either not comment on the presence of some of its executives in the government, or take act. An attitude that could also be observed Guillaume Soro, president of the National Assembly, who has not previously dubbed the appointment of Sidiki Konaté, cadre ex-rebels of the Forces nouvelles.
3. The winners
Albert Toikeusse Mabri, president of the Union for Democracy and Peace in Ivory Coast (UDPCI), signs his return to the government. Nevertheless, he inherited a relatively chaotic portfolio: Higher Education, shaken for months by a series of strikes by both students and teachers.
The reshuffle was also beneficial for a municipality of Abidjan: Attecoubé. Its mayor (PDCI), Paulin Claude Danho, has been appointed Minister of Sports and his deputy (UDPCI), Laurent Tchagba, Minister of Hydraulics
4. A new spokesperson
While it is true that Bruno Koné was personally commissioned by Ouattara to put order in the Ministry of Construction, undermined by corruption, it is said, he was still ousted from his post of government spokesman, to the benefit of Sidi Tiémoko Touré, whose passage to the Ministry of Youth Employment was not very convincing.
5. Future Conflicts of Jurisdiction
The creation of new ministerial positions also raises the question of real powers. Some departments appear to be relatively comparable to existing ones. Thus, what will be the precise mission of the Minister of the City (François Albert Amichia), while there is already a Ministry of Sanitation and Sanitation (led by Anne Désirée Ouloto), a Ministry of Environment and Sustainable development (Joseph Séka Séka) and a minister in charge of urban planning (Bruno Nabagné Koné)?
Similarly, the ordinary citizen has difficulty in defining the nuances between the Ministry in charge of Road Maintenance and that of Transport .
