In his speech to the nation last Tuesday, the Head of State publicly acknowledged the delays in the realization of certain projects, but at the same time cited certain achievements including 50km of road in Greater Libreville.
It is inconceivable that we make the head of state say that. Boasting for 50km of road is not a performance worthy of a self-respecting government. But as most of our compatriots have already resigned themselves to saying, we are in Gabon!
But more seriously, we can’t bring ourselves to this, we have to wake up and act. And Gabonese to work exist.
For example, and according to the testimonies collected from many Gabonese in the neighborhoods and on social networks, Raymond Ndong Sima (RNS) would be the right person to advance the 20 projects of the PAT if he were again called by Ali Bongo Ondimba to the post of Prime Minister, Head of Government, to respond to the urgent concerns of the populations.
First, it will not need immersion or a trial period to learn the work of government coordination.
In addition, RNS is known as having been almost the only Prime Minister who had begun to arouse hope among the populations.
Indeed, it was during his term as prime minister that several civil servants saw their administrative situations regularized, and their living conditions radically changed.
Many of those who had been trainees for decades when he took over as head of government saw their lives changed thanks to Ndong Sima.
By regularizing civil servants, the objective sought by RNS was to have an efficient and effective administration.
And it was during this same period that many Gabonese received their reminders that they had been waiting for decades.
Several had received tens of millions which enabled them to carry out their projects (construction of houses, purchase of vehicles, travel, payment for their children’s studies and medical care, etc.).
From that time to the present day, nothing concrete in the life of the Gabonese has happened.
Also, it is honest to know how to recognize the efforts of others. Although it is the President of the Republic who indicates the direction, the fact remains that the coordination of the implementation depends on a courageous Prime Minister who has been able to advocate for the workers.
Finally, since he is no longer Prime Minister, Raymond Ndong Sima has remained close to the people, not only through his investments, but also through his positions on the economic level and on the progress of the state in Gabon and around the world.
He is therefore, in our opinion, the man of the situation for Ali Bongo Ondimba and for the Gabonese people.
So hand over Ndong Sima to the Prime Minister, for the best interests of the Nation.
