After fulfilling this civic duty, the president of the HAAC, Mr. Télou Pitalounani, said that it was with great pleasure that he came to declare his property and assets, in accordance with the provisions of the organic law. from Togo. Because according to him, it is specified in article 145 of the Constitution that each senior official of the State comes to make the declaration of his assets. “As president of the HAAC, I came to discharge this duty which went very well”, he specified. He also took the opportunity to invite other taxable persons who have not yet made their declaration, to come and do so with ease. ” What you don’t have, you don’t declare. The declaration is clear that you are declaring immovable property that is greater than 50 million FCFA and movable property greater than 20 million FCFA. The rest you declare without problem “said Mr. Télou.
Mrs. Samira Assouma, for her part, noted that this is a very important step, since it makes it possible to put the high authorities on a status equivalent to that of fellow citizens. The declaration procedure is well framed with the concise explanations of the Mediator of the French Republic on the course of the process. ” I made this statement on behalf of the President of the Constitutional Court, Mr. Aboudou Assouma “, she clarified.
« I came to represent the President of the Court of Auditors, Mr. Jean Koffi Edoh, unable to attend. I have therefore just made the declaration being subject to the law. It’s a very good initiative. Since we know, since 2006, that the government is making reforms, among other things, good governance. And as the Court of Auditors, we ensure the correct application of the rules in the procedure for implementing the State budget. Every citizen is accountable before the law. It is within this framework that the president accomplished this republican task “, underlined, Mr. Yao Hétsu Fiaty.
