Libreville, Friday October 25, 2024 (Infos Gabon) – The law reserved these functions for a category of associates appointed by the President of the Republic.
After the publication of the draft constitution that will be submitted to the referendum on November 16 by the government, the opinions are going well, and everyone is going with their interpretation. It is therefore important to explain to allow citizens to have an opinion and understand the issues involved in the next referendum.
If previously the debate was based on the office of the president, especially on the procedures for being involved, today this is no longer true. Indeed, the published text gave confidence. As things have evolved, the law has taken care of all the companions.
But as with any rule, shortcomings are never lacking, the new law also has some special features. Curiosity leads us today to ask who can be a member of the government in the new Republic?
The draft constitution gives every Gabonese citizen the right to be a voter and eligible under the conditions established by law and to participate in the management of public affairs, directly or through elected representatives , but the text specifies But, not all Gabonese can be. a member of the government.
Therefore, article 69 defines the procedures for being part of the government team, taking into account age and origin. “Only Gabonese of both sexes, born to a Gabonese father or mother, aged at least thirty (30) years of age and enjoying their civil and political rights, can be members of the Government,” he says.
The legislator has placed safeguards on the performance of these actions as well as the action of the president to protect the Gabonese country and prevent certain threats. To find out more, you will have to follow the arguments of both sides during the referendum campaign scheduled for 6 to 15 numbers 2024.
During this time, the government, political parties, associations and other citizens will face voters to explain the arguments that support the merits of voting Yes or No in the referendum.
Note that members of the Government are elected from within Parliament and from outside Parliament. The latter are eligible for a national or local mandate.
