The Minister of the Interior and Security, Harmann Immongault decided Thursday to remove an agent from the national awareness commission on the next constitutional referendum for having called for a massive “yes” vote during the referendum.
« As soon as the press release goes out, it will give you the date… get up at 5 a.m. to vote massively Yes for this constitution “, declared the agent wearing a vest emblazoned with the logo of the Ministry of the Interior.
The invitation sparked a wave of indignation on social networks. The video filmed by an amateur quickly made the rounds on social networks with derogatory comments.
In a press release, the Ministry of the Interior regretted these comments which it considered “clumsy” hence the withdrawal of the agent in question from the awareness commission whose mission ends on Saturday.
The national awareness commission was set up and deployed throughout the country not to campaign for yes or no to the constitution but to explain to the population the role and importance of a constitutional referendum. The last referendum organized in Gabon took place in 1995.
A second commission will be set up to explain the draft constitution currently being developed before the referendum.
