The President of the Republic Andry Rajoelina proceeded yesterday to a ceremony of delivery of 4×4 vehicles and computer equipment to the heads of districts and prefects of Madagascar at the State Palace of Iavoloha. ” Civil administrators are key actors in local development. I am aware of your will and your commitment to accomplishing your mission. You are the ambassadors of the State at the level of your respective districts “, did he declare.
These vehicles will allow the prefects and heads of districts to accomplish their missions, especially since some of them often have to go to places that are difficult to access. This endowment of vehicles and materials also aims, according to the Head of State, to restore its letters of nobility to the function of civil administrator. ” So that the title of Prefect and Chief District is now a source of pride “, he added.
This is the second wave of allocation of 4×4 vehicles to prefects and heads of districts. Since 2019, 47 civil administrators have already received their vehicles.
The Head of State also announced the construction of new infrastructures at the level of rural communes in the districts of Marolambo, Ambatolampy, Amboasary, Ampanihy, Bekily, Maevatanana, Mahambo, Mahanoro, Mampikony, Mandritsara, Mananjary, Morombe, Vohibe.. .
« I am aware of the importance of decentralization in the decision-making process for development. You are the closest to the people and all decisions made must be based on local realities “, underlined the President of the Republic. Thus, he appealed to all civil administrators to strengthen collaboration with mayors and regional directorates to jointly meet the challenges of development.
President Rajoelina notably mentioned the operation to distribute 2 million land certificates by the end of the year during which the local authorities will have a major role to play.
