The CNMAG To Get Artisans Out Of The Informal And Precarious

Fidèle AFANOU EDEMBE The crafts sector, which employs 80% of the Gabonese workforce, often in the informal sector, has had a National Chamber of Crafts Trades of Gabon (CNMAG) since June 11, 2019. ), created by Law 22/2018 on the orientation of the national crafts policy in the Gabonese Republic and materialized by the election of forty (45) deputies distributed in the nine provinces of the country. To operate the provincial chambers, a delegation led by Serge Hapita Nkoma, president of CNMAG, and composed of Nzatsi Moussavou, director general of Crafts, Rachel Ebaneth, director general of CNMAG, and Vianey François Nguéma Edou, CNMAG agent, began with Port-Gentil, on April 4, a tour that will bring him closer to the nine provinces. At each stage, efforts will be made to officially install the elected consular officials, train the administrative agents in the use of a digital application for the registration of craftsmen and launch the effective activities of the provincial chambers. The creation of the CNMAG and its subdivisions was born out of the Gabonese authorities' desire to promote and perpetuate the national crafts policy, in order to make it a lever for growth. In short, the players in this sector, alone or in federations, will be registered, registered in the Register of Trades for craftsmen and registered in the Directory of craft businesses for legal persons. Thus structured, artisans will be supervised, trained and will effectively contribute to Gabon's GDP. This will allow many compatriots to get out of precariousness.

Insecurity in Port-Gentil: The judge of the Juvenile Court of Port-Gentil escapes from an attack

Loik MOUGUENGUI, a juvenile judge from Port-Gentil, narrowly escaped a stabbing. The events occurred on April 2, while he was at his home. He was the person who posted a message on a forum where he recounted what happened: “I almost suffered a robbery or a murder at my house at around 12 at night. An intruder scaled my barrier, armed with a machete, scissors, and a backpack. Luckily the neighbors saw it and we were able to get our hands on it." We are here before a new episode of insecurity that lives in the neighborhoods of Port-Gentil where not a day goes by without being informed of robberies of all kinds. Attacks that take place in broad daylight, in the midst of passersby and whose perpetrators are, for the most part, young people. Among them, many repeat offenders. This raises the question of initiatives to be taken to reintegrate young people who have served their sentences and who very often find themselves without prospects. Faithful AFANOU EDEMBE
