On RFI, Boukpessi speaks, Atchadam replies




The draft law on the revision of the Togolese Constitution in articles 52, 59 and 60 adopted by the Council of Ministers a few weeks ago and sent to the table of the National Assembly was ready before 19 August, Pan-African National Party (PNP) of Tikpi Atchadam dumped its militants into the streets of several cities of the country.



The information is given on RFI on Tuesday by the Minister of Territorial Administration, Decentralization and Local Authorities, Payadowa Boukpessi. "The last thrust of the accelerator comes from the results of the committee of reflection on the reforms. And in each préfecture, the populations were clear. They said they want to limit the number of mandates and a two-round vote. And this was done well before August 19, "he said. And this accelerating blow given by the head of state, Faure Gnassingbé, according to him had the objective to "preserve the climate of peace in the country".





"The president is a man of dialogue and peace," said the minister, who appealed to the parliamentary opposition to go to the National Assembly on Tuesday in his plenary to vote for the reforms which she has always requested until 19 August. "I dare say that these political parties will change their minds to come and ensure that the National Assembly can vote on this reform in 4/5, it would avoid a referendum," he added. For him, this is an opportunity to "perfect" a little more the Togolese democracy. In response to the minister's remarks, PNP leader Tikpi Atchadam said the head of state had time to reform but did not.





"We have stopped talking about the reforms, we are demanding a return to the 1992 Constitution. Today, the people are demanding their departure pure and simple. It is him who has lost time and it is too late unfortunately, "he said. For him, the referendum will be a waste of time. Moreover, the President of the Republic, he said, is decried everywhere and therefore, there is no question of referring to a referendum. His departure demanded by the people is already one, he added. To hear Mr. Atchadam, Faure Gnassingbe must not remain in power until 2020. "If he is there until 2020, he will find a way to be there," he thinks.

Oruko Amutorunwa (Pre-Destined Names) In Yorubaland

                                                           Ibeji (Twins) In Yoruba land, one of the most important things done when a child is born is to give the child a name. This comes after the child’s ritual birth, massage of specific body parts and other rites as well. Names are given to the child by the father, mother, grandparents (paternal and maternal) and some close relatives also. But sometimes, the circumstance of a child’s birth will automatically give the child a name. This name is known as ‘orúko àmútọ̀runwá’ (pre-destined or generic name) in Yorubaland. The most common generic names (orúko àmútọ̀runwá) in Yoruba land are ‘Taiwo‘ and ‘Kehinde‘ (altogether known as Ìbejì) which are given to twins. The first born of the twins is called Táíwò, a shortened form of Tò-aiyé-wò (taste the world) while the last born of the t...

Togo now has its plan to combat land degradation

Land degradation is a reality in Togo. According to figures put forward by the Ministry of the Environment, each year 4.14% of the land (nationally) succumb to the phenomenon. And it is in response to the problem that the Government launched last March, the Program of definition of the national targets on neutrality in land degradation (PDC / NDT). On Thursday in Lomé, environmental experts validated a document that will serve as a blueprint for sustainable land management in Togo. This document, which estimates that 23,500 hectares of land are degraded each year in Togo between 2000 and 2010, has already identified national targets assessed on the basis of indicators such as land use, net productivity or carbon. According to the Secretary General of the Ministry of Environment and Forest Resources, Sama Boundjouw, these targets and their measures to be validated will become guidelines for any actor involved in the fight against land degradation in Togo during the next twelve...
