President Rajoelina wants to listen to users’ voices

At several entrances and exits of Ivato International Airport, users will surely notice unusual behaviors and situations: agents collecting money from users and others directly asking for it, which is called a service provided. If some do it covertly, asking users to hide the money in their passports, others take it directly in plain sight.

More serious cases may occur at airports, where users (mostly victims) may have reported it on social networks as their only recourse. These practices are especially common at the registration level. Law enforcement officers and ticket inspectors are affected by this. Even outside the recording studio, there are people who are not afraid to ask users to give them a little ” Gift ».

In addition to this, Ivato International Airport is considered too small compared to other international airports and its services are said to be poor, in addition to its cramped terminals. Even China’s regional airports are two or three times larger than Ivatu », said a passenger from Mao Zedong’s homeland. Obviously no photos with Mauritius, Ethiopia, Dubai, Istanbul, Turkey, Moscow or even Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris.

All this actually shows that Madagascar is far from being taken seriously, and it will be difficult to develop to the doorstep of the big island without changing its practices and mentality.

While waiting for an effective solution and to make amends for all this, the President of Madagascar, Andry Rajoelina, announced this Tuesday afternoon the raid on Ivato International Airport, explaining that his post on social networks was aimed at closely observing the large number of complaints from users about bad practices at the airport, especially corruption.

The head of state wants to listen to the people and wants to show that he offers solutions to this problem at the airport level. But the question is whether he really understands his tasks as President of the Republic, because some people think that he has more important things to do and should entrust the solution of these problems to ministers or technicians. Others believe that the problem that the president must solve in Madagascar is still poverty.
