Guinea’s minister for territorial administration and decentralisation, Djénabou Touré, said 87% of the objectives in her roadmap had been achieved at the end of her first 100 days in office. She presented the assessment on Friday 13 November in Conakry and called for territorial administration to be strengthened, according to Visionguinee.
Djénabou Touré announced that the process of establishing a local civil service had been finalised to enable the effective transfer of powers to local authorities. She also said territorial administrators were to head the new prefectures and regions.
The minister also called for measures to restore state authority in Siguiri prefecture, particularly in the Kintinian area and the Balato district. She announced that she wanted communication on the situation to be responsible, according to Visionguinee.
