A government of consensus, formed of just frameworks; not but for which one takes to us?

why want change when it is not possible, at least during this time?
Here, the sad truth of my country, Guinea. During the social movements that my nation knew during February and January, during which, more from “187” people found death and more than one thousand of casualties; the people of Guinea requested from the unison a government with consensus which is formed technocrats.
Alas, these people who were judicious being of the firemen of my nation, appeared piromanes, flamers doubled of budgétivores to the image of Ahmed KANTE, Ministre for the Mines of this “formed Government of just frameworks”; the lines below will tell you long, good reading of it:

© Guinéenews delivers to you below the open letter addressed to Ahmed Kanté, minister for the Mines and Geology, by the executives of its department.

It should be noted that this letter, sent since February 25, 2008, received like response only one press conference of the Minister for the Mines denouncing “a plot against Guinea”

As for the authorities recipients in copy of the letter, they kept the most total dumbness to date, avoiding answering the authors or making the least comment.

It is: the president of the Republic, the president of L? National Parliament, the president of the Economic and Social Council, the Prime Minister and the Minister for the Economic Control of L? Ethics and of the Transparency.

At the hour when one speaks about good governorship, of ethics and of transparency in management after the bloody events which shook our country in January and February 2007 follow-ups of the installation of one gouvernenent supposed to improve the life of the populations, it is regrettable that an initiative emanating of frameworks denouncing of the irregularities express of a minister in charge of a as strategic field for the country as that of the Mines, remains without continuation near the leading authorities. Especially that this creditable initiative, a first in the history of the country, was carried out in the strict respect of the legal standards…

OPEN LETTER A MR the MINISTER FOR the MINES AND GEOLOGY

Mister the Minister, by melting us on the principles which you have yourselves? even stated in this department at the time of your catch of service, principles according to which the executives must express their written dissension lorsqu? they note that the attitudes of the Minister are contrary with L? interest of L? State, that we do allow ourselves to produce such a document supported by L? together executives of the cabinet and national directions.

C? a method of L is remainder? legal obligation of denunciation of the infringements which, according to L? does article 73 of the Code of Penal Procedure, fall on any authority made up or any civil servant of L? Guinean administration.

Indeed, after one year D? exercise and D? a new governorship in Republic of Guinea, it is completely convenient to throw a glance on the real situation of the Ministry for the Mines and Geology. Vis-a-vis the deep desire of change expressed any azimuth, force is to note that for your department one rather attended a repetition of the past if this N? is a notorious absence of performance have regard to the means you have.

Among did the briefly analyzed aspects we focus themselves on what follows, this list N? not being restrictive.

I- ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENT:

The administrative management of the department had incontestably as a base a voluntarism which circumvented all the procedures devoted by the administrative texts into force. It privileges the treatment of the files apart from the lawful structures indicated to this end and L? use D? a parallel cabinet composed people who N? do not belong to the structures of the department.

These people without having legal titles naming them at precise stations N? necessarily all competence and L do not have? necessary experiment of the mining sector.

One in addition notes the failure of your particular secretariat since March 2007, it acting instead of this service and attache bodyguard of cabinet.

Lastly, meetings of cabinet and directions which allow any Minister D? to examine the important files and to make shared decisions are not held any more.

1- The installation of the Committee of Revision of Conventions and Agreements Mining (CIRCAM):

This committee was composed without referring to the capacities and the quality of its members, so that the people most indicated for such a work which requires competence and L? experiment were knowingly put of with dimensions. C? is the case of the regular members of the cabinet.

Without underestimating is the work made by the founded committee, it certain that L? contribution and L? experiment of the excluded people could have arisen from the more tangible results. Bottom N? not being “to break” conventions, but rather D? to improve the contractual aspects which we estimate to be unbalanced. To this pace, the revision of conventions will be expensive financially and will meet the founded resistance of the investors, in the long term compromising the development of the great projects.

2- Promotion of the mining sector:

You affirmed as of your arrival Mister the Minister that all the important investors are present in Guinea and hustle themselves with the wicket, in this respect according to you, it N? y would have more any promotion to make; then qu? at the same moment of the countries like the USA, Canada, Russia, L? India, China, L? South Africa and L? Australia, much more advanced than us in the mining area, make promotion in a continual way.

C? is for this reason qu? through the contacts with the foreign investors we noted your share: discourtoisie, delay or the blocking of the files and titles mining, finally the demotivation of the executives, experts like your collaborator close relations charged with these files.

In addition, you confiscated in your only possession all financial means intended for this promotion and the missions of research on the ground.

3- Missions with L? outside:

Missions with L? outside which is done within the framework of the relations that the department maintains with the mining companies S? carry out in theory with the people who are in load of the files or which belong to technical committees or councils D? administration of the companies under supervision.

This rule was very often violated in 2007, owing to the fact that the delegations were consisted affinity. In theory do the administrative texts into force grant sufficiently D? authority with the Secretary general to decide L? appropriateness of the missions and their composition. What N? the case with the Ministry for the mines was not whole.

4- Behaviour of the Councils D? administration:

Behaviour of the councils D? was administration generally a failure for L? 2007. Majority of councils N? having led to any result, rules of forms and basic based so much on L? agreement between the parts were isolated. For example is each advice of the CBG taken D? an extraordinary council fault D? agreement enters the parts, incomprehension generally coming on the side of Guinea (motions for a resolution of the councils not examined before with the partners). With this date the budget 2008 of CBG N? by the institutional authorities… C is not approved yet? is a first.

In addition, the Guinean actions held by the Company Crew Gold Miniing are sequestered in a Parisian Lawyer fault D? agreement with the partners. Does this have as consequences the freezing of the Guinean assets D? a value going from 10 to 15 million dollars, just as the loss of pleasure of the actions in terms of dividends so much to SMD qu? in Crew Gold Miniing.

5- Signature of the acts of renewal:

Did the renewal of the licences and authorizations know a systematic gel with the detriment of the receipts that L? State must draw from these acts which make it possible the companies to continue their mining activities.

C? is the case of the SEMAFO which has to utilize the highest authorities of the country for to finally signing its act of renewal him. Are the consequences of this situation the deceleration of L? activity of mining research and the fall of the incomes of the sector.

Lastly, the mining lists of 2007 and 2008 which were subjected to you for approval L? were for certain qu? in at the beginning of 2008, making curl the out-of-stock condition (synonymous with overcost of production) at all the mining companies.

II FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT:

6- Premiums of motivation and budgets of the services financed by the FPDM:

The premiums of motivation and the operational budgets had been allocated with the services of the department in order to mitigate the weakness of the national budget (less than 400 million per annum for all the department) whose withdrawal was almost impossible. These budgets were removed and the premiums reduced or withdrawn with some.

In the same way, the freezing of the administrative expenditures led to L? stop of the supply of services Internet (12.000.000 GNF per annum) since March 2007 and deterioration of computer equipement, office automation and of the travelling material which don't profit any more D? no maintenance. At the same time, you are made install a service personalized D? Internet with the contempt of your collaborators.

C? is why demotivation is the sad truth of the department of the mines aujourd? today.

7- Controls of the financial transactions and countable:

It is very difficult aujourd? today of speaking about control in this department because the missions suggested are seldom accepted and the expenses and granted allowances of mission are likely to compromise the awaited results.

However as of were your taking of and following a mission near the Funds Mining, recommendations made to you with regard to the behaviour D? an accountancy, the clothes industry D? an adapted budget, the nomination D? an inspection committee, standards and procedures, the fixing of the premiums and other advantages.

In the same way, financial commission of L? Did National Parliament, at her session of September 2007 make you the same recommendations, unfortunately, nothing N? in was.

Did the denounced practices continue as in the past, worsened by your personal implication in the public purchases carried out private (the case of L? purchase of the buses and the restoration of villa CBG). Paradoxically, you require a call D? offers for L? purchase of the data-processing equipment for the management of the mining land register.

Can one speak in this case D? a change?

L? relevant L analyzes? execution of the expenditure of the Funds Mining for L? 2007 will say some long.
