She was one of the curiosities in the Houngbo government on 28 May 2010 when she was appointed Minister of Posts and Telecommunications. The first hot speculation was limited to his patronymic. A young technocrat "Lawson" in the government of Faure Gnassingbé. It is perhaps an additional gesture on the part of the son of Eyadema to reinforce his will to dilute little by little the slim exclusion that his Dad made of the men of the South in his management of the power. In fact, Cina is the daughter of Lawson Merlot. This other rash who would have fomented, but without success, a coup d'etat against the late Eyadema. A valuable detail that reinforced the thesis of the North-South rapprochement.
But very soon the rumors of idyllic relations between the young minister and the President of the Republic came to sweep away the simple politico-ethnic analyzes. And not lightly. A leader of opinion currently in peril in the favors of the power has besides to reassure us on this subject. "Leave when we speak of the queen of Faure women. For the case of Cina Lawson, I can assure you that it is serious and the boss has done the things in the rules of the art as we do in Africa, "he argued. Understand who wants it. But it is that the facts that follow will help some to have more grain for their analyzes.
Pause !
Brief presentation by Minister Cina The current Minister of Posts and Digital Economy has returned to the government since May 28, 2010 under Prime Minister Gilbert Houngbo and is at its third renewal. The first having registered the change in the name of its portfolio which has now become "Postes and Digital Economy" instead of "Posts and Telecommunications" previously.
In March 2012, Cina will first be named "Young World Leader" by the World Economic Forum, and later ranked among the "20 most influential young women in Africa" according to Forbes magazine.
In May 2013, she is one of the "25 most influential women in business in Africa" according to the newspaper Jeune Afrique.
The university curriculum of the 44-year-old minister led her in 1994 to the Institut d'Etudes Politiques in Paris, where she graduated in 1996 (Economics and Finance) before obtaining a DEA in Applied Economics In 1997.
Dame Cina also holds a Master's degree in History from the University of Paris X and a Master's Degree from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in the United States.
The young graduate began her career at the World Bank, where she advises governments on telecom policies, regulatory reforms and privatizations.
Episode 1
The early years of the former advisor to the World Bank in the government were without great subject. Cina Lawson had more talked about her - and again in passing - as one of the President's women rather than her ministerial portfolio.
From the beginning of 2012, the owner of the Telecoms announces the opening of the mobile phone market to a third operator. May be a timely response to the wind that had begun to rise against it, since at the time, the press began to focus on the problems of high cost and quality that characterize digital communication in Togo. The country of Faure Gnassingbé having become a singularity among its neighbors of the subregion. The arrival of this third operator will come catalyze the problem of cost for users -voice while Togo telecom the national operator of fixed and data struggled in its meanders to rebound and correct the quality of the Internet connection. Perhaps this is what has seduced the World Economic Forum magazine Forbes and Jeune Afrique to consecutively hallow the young minister between 2012 and 2013. Really maybe!
But months have passed and Togolese consumers have not seen Cina's promises to materialize. Faced with the tendencies boumerang of the press, the minister leaves his handkerchief the option of MVno (Mobile Virtual Network Operator): virtual mobile operators. We were in 2014. In the meantime, the Head of State has taken his responsibilities and has cleared from the head of the national fixed telephony the Dg Sam Bikasam and his team which instead of bringing up the Internet connection have rather leaded him with a passive culminating To nearly 200 billion CFA francs. But on the Minister's side, salsa was still danced on the question of the third operator while the press shouted haro and called on the head of state to take his responsibilities.
Episode 2
Following the press, it was the parliament that took the case. Minister Lawson was invited to come and clarify the elected officials on the subject. But the graduate of Havard has only had cure Dama Dramani and his colleagues of the Palais des Congres. Nearly four invitations have been issued. But Cina has proved to the old baron that she is not of the school of these young people who "lower themselves in front of the white heads" as the vehicle an African wisdom. And this, regardless of the weight that only represented yesterday still, the men of Dama Dramani's bill in Togo. As one of our readers has said, Cina indirectly wanted to paraphrase "her de facto tuson" by proving to Dramani that "yesterday it was Eyadema but today it is Faure". As the president of parliament was unable to move the Minister of Digital Post and Economy, he turned to the Head of Government, Selom Klassou. Another crane of the old school that modernity has not succeeded in dismantling. The Prime Minister has also tried in vain. Minister Cina was not carried out beyond measure. exceeded The head of government had to raise the issue publicly at a Council of Ministers. "It is the obligation of all ministers to respond to the convocation of the deputies," the prime minister hammered his attendants before the Supreme Leader of the nation. We were in May 2016. But Lady Cina remained unmoved. "Cina Lawson the in-touchable" had at the time cuckled your journal Fraternity. "Maybe it's a way of saying to all this beautiful people that she is not on their floor" we had then analyzed. And examples such as this kind of snobbish lady Cina has served at will both in the state protocol at official ceremonies and in the hierarchical management of some very important files. Is ! At least Cina Lawson proves today at the top of the state that "what woman wants, God willing ". The barons-gods of rain and sun in Togo will certainly note it in gold from their diaries. Meanwhile, it was only on 9 June last that the patroness of the Telecoms chose to return to the parliament the politeness that she has so demanded for more than a year. "Honorable Members wanted to get a better understanding of connection issues, what the government and mobile operators are doing to address these issues. We spoke to them about a number of things, including the signing of a license for new Internet access providers that have contracted to provide high bit rates. We also talked about the licensing of 4G to mobile operators. We discussed issues related to quality of service and improved governance, Of the internal functioning of Crown corporations, "Cina Lawson told reporters at the end of the session.
This opens the episode 3 Episode 3
In addition to the arrival of Internet Service Providers and the granting of 4G to mobile operators, the Minister spoke mainly of the old-fashioned facilities. A very important assertion, which although having succeeded in packing Mr Apevon, who took it blissfully as a wholly white confession, has, on the contrary, awakened in us, presumptions of obscure inclinations that have been put under a cloak. And for good reason.
He remembers that on 24 April 2017, only six weeks before the words "dilapidated" used by the Minister before the parliament, the Head of State inaugurated the e-government brought by fiber optics. And the day after this ceremony, one could read on www. Cinalawson.com, the site of the minister, that "the project E-Government makes Togo a country connected in phase with its time. Administrations, hospitals and universities in Lomé now have a high-speed connection thanks to fiber optics. The time is now for the extension of the project to the rest of the country ". And precisely on this subject of expansion of the network, the Minister has regularly received reports from Togotelecom technicians who informed him of "Audit and upgrading of the core of the IP network, the Rehabilitation started from the fiber backbone Optics (national transmission artery) Aného-Lomé-Kara-Cinkassé, Of the Lome-Kara high-speed link, which now allows a cut in the fiber between Lomé and Atakpamé not to be felt thanks to the Lomé-Kpalimé-Atakpamé fiber optic link Introduction of FTTH (fiber-to-the-home) technology, which is currently in the pilot phase in Baguida and Agoè. "These projects were carried out in full view of all citizens in the fever of the Maritime safety in Lomé. And the effects of these major works on improving the connection are felt today on all terminals with internet access.
Despite these achievements, the sponsors of the Cabala hidden by the declarations of 09 June 2017 before the parliament and the licenses granted to the FAI: VGA and Teolis upstream did not abort their blow. And this is what led to the famous Council of Ministers of July 13, 2017 whose announcement announced, the creation of a Holding provisionally abbreviated Togocom instead of the TOGO TELECOM Group adopted consensus until then and publicly unfolded a " As such for over a year. This communiqué of the Council of Ministers had the merit of raising today the outcry of the press against the Minister and this for three weeks. The journalists accused Dame Cina of having led the Head of State by boat with this "Togocom's machin ... to the contours of family OPA ..., mafia ..., harmful ...... and to the regrettable odors of the OTR or Togo Electricity "wrote to bloom the confreres. It will be remembered that before the popular outcry was raised, Brotherhood had very early warned about the risk of loss of "Identity of the National Patrimony" with this project Togocom. Today, it is the trade unionists of the two state companies (Togocel and Moov) who rise to denounce a stab with their dagger. Meanwhile it refers that the social capital of the two companies amounts to 4 billion while the great Togocom is announced for only 2.5 billion of social capital all these included wires.
It is to be remembered that the Head of State was himself Minister of Telecommunications under the late father. And in this capacity he is one of the most qualified to quickly discover the slightest hoaxes that could be hidden in the country's telecoms files. But if, despite all this, We managed to pass the decree of July 13, 2017 with these arguments obsolete and unsettling, one wonders what exactly happens in this issue of reform of the Digital Communication sector. Did the capitalist networks take over the national interest?
And the epilogue
It emerges in the light of what has been told up to these last lines that Minister Cina can deviate the control of the Prime Minister, to toise the President of the Parliament and even to sign to the Head of State a decree Against the interests of the nation. At the end, we have to ask ourselves who controls this minister in the end?
In the shadows of Dame Cina we speak of a certain Sonya Lawson, the little sister, the same features and same gait. But that will be another chapter.
