In reality, it is Monday, April 8, 2024, when the actual works of the inclusive national dialogue start, according to the operational schedule made public last Wednesday by Mgr Jean Bernard Asseko Mve, spokesperson for the said meeting. Nineteen days to rethink Gabon and project it into the future.
More than six hundred (600) delegates to the dialogue have known since Friday in which commissions and sub-commissions they are called to bring their expertise and know-how to Gabon of tomorrow.
Three (3) commissions were established (political, economic, and social), totaling twelve (12) evenly distributed sub-commissions. The sub-commissions political regime and institutions, national sovereignty, rights and freedoms, reforms and organization of the State are under the responsibility of the political commission. On the other hand, the economic commission oversees the sub-commissions economy/finance, equipment/infrastructure/ TP, employment, and agriculture/environment.
Four sub-commissions also for the social commission: training, well-being, cultural heritage/values, and youth and sports.
It is through these different commissions and sub-commissions that the delegates will have to express themselves on the words and ills that burden Gabon and bring effective and efficient therapies. For this purpose, they are also called upon to analyze no less than thirty-eight thousand (38,000) contributions made beforehand by Gabonese from here and elsewhere.
Agenda at a fast pace
It is an understatement to say that the task is immense for all commissioners and delegates to this dialogue, as expectations are numerous and legitimate among the Gabonese population who wish to turn the page on a Gabon that has remained almost behind in the march of the world over the past 50 years, in most vital areas and in terms of freedoms.
And yet, it is in this relatively short period of time that the big maneuvers must take place, as the inclusive national dialogue has set itself the ambition to address everything. Between Monday, April 8 (actual start of works in commissions and sub-commissions) and Saturday, April 27, 2024 (date of adoption of the final report of the inclusive national dialogue), the allotted time ultimately leaves only nineteen (19) days of work and not a month as initially announced.
All in all, almost an entire week (the one that is ending) has been lost, for various conveniences and practical organization questions of the dialogue that a dedicated commission could have handled upstream, without encroaching on the time assigned to the works, from April 2 to April 30, 2024.
It is also no secret to anyone that there is not great serenity, both inside the lodges of the Angondjé stadium and outside where there are complaints directed at the organizers.
An internal atmosphere and environment that, if not careful, could spoil the working atmosphere and weigh heavily on the expected results.
