Does the head of state, Faure Gnassingbé want to go to the referendum with the bill of constitutional revision adopted by the council of ministers on September 5? "No," replies Christian Trimua, former Secretary of State, today an adviser to the Head of State.
"The president never said in his speech that he was going to refer to the referendum the text that was voted by Parliament. He said that the people must be consulted. This means that whatever the outcome of the dialogue, we will go to the referendum, "he said on Thursday on the program" press club "radio Kanal FM.
But, it is in the case where the referendum gives birth to a mouse that this draft revision of the Constitution will follow its merry way, he said then adding that the procedure will be completed. "Actors can no longer gather in a corner and the people can not have their hand," says Trimua.
During the radio broadcast, the question of the same contestation of the Head of State by the street was also mentioned, subject that he did not address in his message to the nation. Will this subject be addressed during the dialogue? For Christian Trimua, the head of state is not part of the dialogue; he is above this dialogue. He goes further by saying that the President of the Republic is an institution.
"We will not go to a dialogue to negotiate the immediate departure or future commitment of the head of state to leave, it is necessary that people get out of the head," he warned.
Faure Gnassingbe, according to him, will receive with his government the conclusions of the dialogue and will implement them according to the indications which will have been given.
For this doctor in public law, the substance of the Togolese problem lies in the limitation of mandate and the two-round election of the President of the Republic. "From the moment the limitation of mandates has been ceded, all other issues are peripheral and will find a solution quickly in a dialogue," he said.
The other important issues to be discussed during the dialogue are, according to Mr Trimua, the reorganization of the institutions and the electoral guarantees. According to Faure Gnassingbe's collaborator, the question of mediation is a secondary subject of dialogue.
