The members of the government in the Council of Ministers around the Head of State

The intellectuals of our country want to believe that it is fake news. The Gabonese want to be told that he did not say it. Unfortunately, the Gabon Media Time online site is too serious to venture into such jokes these days.

“We have no injunctions to receive from the IMF for the publication of the covid-19 report”, such would have been the clumsy and arrogant words of Alain Claude Bilié by Nzé, the government spokesman. On reading this statement, frankly inappropriate because ridiculous, this member of the government seems to have made the decision to remain at the head of the national blooper. What is truly a shame for the image of the level of our country. Alain Claude Bilié by Nzé wants to prove what to whom precisely?

For those who have taken the time to analyze the man’s academic profile and even his political career, there is nothing surprising. It is expressed only according to the level which is its, that is to say baccalaureate +1. And there, we are not far from the level of college students by the sea. On the political level, we can no longer be a voltigeur if we refuse to say opportunist.

The history of humanity is so rich in this type of profile which believes that it is by excelling in excessive zeal that one forges a shell, a thickness and that one demonstrates one’s ability to support the unbearable. Alas, these prefabricated or existing profiles by decree always end up falling back to their proper level. This is at least what is positive and reassuring that nature or spiritual justice offers us.

When our children pass the baccalaureate, they can legitimately challenge us as to our understanding of the notion of excellence or merit. The catastrophic situation in Gabon is by no means surprising. It depends on the level of people infesting the top of the state. Also, why should our children be pushed to do beautiful and high studies if, by the model served, we can reach this level of responsibility or power without any diploma or with a simple level of bac +1 in 2022?

By making such a statement, completely insane, Alain Claude Bilié by Nzé demonstrates publicly that he ignores the role and missions of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). What is really a pity for a member of a government in 2022, moreover, spokesperson for this government.

To say that the government has no injunctions to receive from the IMF regarding the publication of the covid-19 report is just as serious and reprehensible as writing a bad check. In a normal country with a serious government, the question would not even arise. For reasons of transparency and commitment to good governance methods, the report should have been published a long time ago. The fact that it is not is already an anomaly that this former opposition agitator should have noted.

Then, it is precisely this opacity and this type of shaky statement that prove that there is something fishy. Who do we want to protect when we know the list of individuals who piloted the anti-covid19 copil? Accounts must be taken. In other countries this is what happened. In South Africa, there have even been condemnations after too many covid 19 fund management anomalies were found. Gabon wanted to champion the fight against corruption, so let’s go.

Why are invoices issued in the name of the collaborators of the President of the Republic when they are not members of the anti-covid 19 copil? It is embezzlement of public funds or money laundering. And that’s all. The culprits must be held accountable for their violent acts against the state. Too bad our national assembly refuses to do its job and restore Gabon’s dignity. Unfortunately for these MPs, time will tell. Omar Bongo Ondimba said “they will be punished”.

Alain Claude Bilié by Nzé who once screamed in opposition is not fed up with the state of the impassable road that leads to his village in Ogooué-Ivindo? Doesn’t this former disciple of Father Paul Mba Abessolo find it strange that, despite the hundreds of billions borrowed in the context of covid-19, a single hospital bed has not been purchased for his entire province? But finally, the mode of operation of this government ultimately corresponds to what standard?

Telling your bank, from whom you have borrowed a loan, that you do not have an account to render to it, is really like signing a bad check which, moreover, had led Alain Claude Bilié by Nzé behind the bars. Under other skies, his career would simply have stopped at this level. But alas, we are in Gabon where we can make a dog a minister and a minister a dog, according to Omar Bongo Ondimba.

The government spokesperson should know that the IMF is responsible for (1) promoting international monetary cooperation, (2) fostering the expansion of trade and economic growth, and finally (3) discouraging economic policies that might to harm prosperity. To achieve its goals, IMF member states cooperate with each other and with other international bodies to improve people’s living conditions. Are we not there within the framework of the loans granted by this institution in Gabon?

Alain Claude Bilié by Nzé must know that the season is approaching by leaps and bounds where bac+1 level profiles without any diploma will no longer be entitled to this level of responsibility in our country. His declarations on the Francophonie and now on the IMF put him on the road to Jean Ping’s political end. The historical software of the Western world which is still the strongest, for the moment, will be able to remind him of his verbal wanderings which look like delirium.

Jean Ping has been familiar with the greatest of this world but today finds himself unable to leave the national territory. Laurent Gbagbo and Charles Blé Goudé have just spent nearly 10 years in prison outside their country. Guillaume Sorro, who held prestigious positions in the Ivory Coast, finds himself unable to return to his country. This is the certain consequence of insulting the future. And that’s the path he seems to have chosen.

Those who misappropriated covid-19 public money will be held accountable. We will never repeat it enough. It is not by offering a show with pathetic reflections that we will manage to satisfy the expectations of Gabonese on this question: where did the money go from covid-19? What have we done with it?

At a time when the National Social Security Fund (CNSS) is living its last hours, in defiance of the efforts of those who have contributed all their lives to secure their old age, people like Alain Claude Bilié by Nzé want us to believe that we should circulate, that there is nothing to see here. Unfortunately, this is public money borrowed in the name of Gabon for Gabonese. So let those who managed the covid-19 funds come and justify their management of our money.

Too many Gabonese have died because of this rough management of covid-19. Too many companies have gone out of business due to the incompetence of those who managed covid-19 funds. Too many Gabonese are unemployed today because those who managed the covid-19 funds were irresponsible. Too many Gabonese, not even born yet, are already condemned to pay a debt which neither they nor their parents have consumed. And people like Alain Claude Bilié by Nzé come to bring it back because he thinks he has to please unworthy people.

One thing is clear, the clumsy verbal convolutions of the government spokesperson will not change anything. That his fellow academics come to explain what they have done with public money from covid-19. We all thought that with Operation Scorpion, the hour of impunity had come. That with the proliferation of taskforces, transparency would flow naturally. On closer inspection, it is not. To hide their incapacities, these actors at the top preferred to shine through arrogance and violence. Fortunately, time knows how to balance things. And people are now hiding behind the silence and the meaningless verb of a man who has broken into the top of the state.

Yes, obviously, fear has changed sides. For people who were quick to respond the most indigestible, silence reigns more and more. This means that we are heading towards the end of a nightmarish situation for our country. May covid-19 take its last symptoms with it. It won’t be a regret. Our country must return to the fundamentals, that is to say, worthy of envy.
