Governance at the top of the state: a broad perspective on public administration

The current transition process is still full of many surprises, and the first anniversary of the National Committee for the Defence of the Fatherland has brought happiness not only to those in power. According to reliable sources, whose information The Courier has taken the trouble to cross-reference for verification, a large-scale sweep is expected within the public administration of Niger.

This massive operation, prepared in advance, will involve the entire public administration and all the responsible departments, and despite the great care in the handling of the files, the information leaked, causing real psychological distress among the key state employees. This fear is palpable and justified in some people. In addition to the fact that they have not shown productive leadership, capable of producing a qualitative change in the execution of the mission they have undertaken, these people carry with them some stinking sores that displease the top brass. Aware of these shortcomings, many of them will work hard to defend their achievements. They say that at night all cats are gray. According to our sources, the humble pharmacies of hermits and other charlatans are currently turning away customers. It must be noted that the Cnsp was slow to act. Many observers believe that the governing bodies had to change their personnel from the first week of the coup. First out of principle, in order to make the coup of July 26, 2023 credible, and then out of concern to give ourselves a real chance to rebuild the governance of Niger. General Tiyani said that the main motives of the coup were related to poor governance and insecurity. All things for which humans bear a great responsibility.

We did not launch a coup to maintain the same government, its practices were contrary to good governance and patriotism and led to the coup. However, one year after the fall of the regime of the Seventh Republic, there has not been the great upheaval that was expected by Nigeriens, many of whom feel responsible for the disastrous situation in which Niger finds itself today, retaining their positions of responsibility, much to the dismay of Nigeriens. All these people, including many in the country, were expecting a radical change. After a whole year of rule by a hybrid government, that is to say without a real identity and therefore without a soul, the Cnsp has finally decided to take a big step.

According to our sources, the governing body has finally realized that he can’t play in the worn-out, holey Partagas shoes of the Seventh Republic. This change of approach is no accident. According to our sources, this observation is painful, but it is real: some actors, activists of the fallen regime, will use their position to sabotage. In the National Security Agency during the day, singing praises of the military authorities, and scheming at night in the political offices and other comfortable lounges in the capital, this shows that we are definitely not making something new out of something old. While waiting to see what this sweep of the public administration means, Nigeriens are in any case looking forward to bold measures that will lastingly change governance.
