Guinean President Mamadi Doumbouya accused former officials of investing state funds abroad during the launch of the Simandou Mining Summit in Kassa on 11 November. He defended the principle of investing resources mobilised in Guinea in projects intended to create wealth and improve living conditions, according to Visionguinee.
Mamadi Doumbouya also said that more than 8,000 public employees had been retired as part of the renewal of the administration, saying that some employees worked for themselves and their families. He called for economic and property investments in Guinea rather than in Senegal, Ivory Coast, France or the United States, according to Visionguinee.
The Guinean president also discussed the history of bauxite exploitation in Kassia, saying that the first industrial activities there had left abandoned facilities. He also defended the use of Guinean hospitals, notably Ignace Deen and Donka, for the treatment of officials and citizens, according to Visionguinee. His remarks follow his statements on national development and youth made on 1 October, notably when he placed youth at the heart of Guinean development.
