By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on L'Express de Madagascar
Madagascar’s head of state Michaël Randrianirina is calling on religious leaders and authorities to speed up the implementation of the national consultation, acknowledging delays. In a speech in Antsirabe, he invoked patriotic commitment to overcome financial constraints, according to L’Express de Madagascar.
In a speech delivered on 8 November in Antsirabe, Colonel Michaël Randrianirina, Madagascar’s head of state, called on religious leaders and state authorities responsible for the national consultation to speed up its implementation. He said the process could move forward despite financial constraints, provided the actors showed patriotism, according to L’Express de Madagascar.
The Ecumenical Council of Christian Churches of Madagascar (FFKM), tasked with leading the consultation, is directly concerned by the appeal. Michaël Randrianirina had already presented the process as a means of implementing the “true Refoundation of the country” during a service in Antsohihy on 13 October, L’Express de Madagascar reports.
The appeal comes on the eve of two days devoted to presenting the conclusions of consultations on preparations for the elections. The consultation’s timetable is thus part of the Refoundation process backed by the head of state, following his public support for the consultation on 13 October in Antsohihy.
