Since the November 14 dismissal of 18 minister-MPs, the interim government has moved decisively to keep state operations on track.
The final communiqué from the Council of Ministers, chaired by Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, confirms that the administration is safeguarding the public service by addressing inconsistencies in ministerial handovers and ensuring files are properly transmitted for continuity.
With 13 ministers currently steering affairs, the administration remains focused on delivering results while a new government is prepared.
The leadership, rather than risk paralysis, has emphasized that departures must not disrupt government action. This approach underscores the president’s commitment to order and effective governance, even as internal transitions are refined.
A clear message has been sent: all documents and files must be handed over to interim ministers to guarantee transparent and uninterrupted public service. President Oligui Nguema’s directive aims to prevent any delay in programs and to maintain steady administration during this period of transition.
The outcome will depend on how swiftly administrations implement the president’s directive.
A transparent reshuffle, guided by the interim authority, is expected to reduce speculation and reinforce state continuity. The administration’s stance is straightforward: the interim government holds full authority and is dedicated to maintaining stable governance for the Gabonese people.
