Burkina Faso: President Ibrahim Traoré sets an example for his constituents

The Council of Ministers on Wednesday, November 16, 2022 adopted a decree on the remuneration of the Head of State, the Prime Minister, the Presidents of institutions and members of the Government. At the end of this Council, the President of the Transition Ibrahim Traoré in a statement, decided to maintain his salary as captain.

In a country where the population is confronted with the harsh realities of everyday life with internal refugees in difficulty, President Ibrahim Traoré’s decision to keep his salary as captain is an act of compassion but worthy of a great statesman.

Thus the President of the Transition has given his citizens a good example of social cohesion and living together in mutual assistance.

Through this gesture that inspires many, many Burkinabè remember the great revolutionary, former President Thomas Sankara who also led a vast policy of social development based on the effort of the community.

In any case, President Ibrahim Traoré has shown the way to sustainable development for Faso.

Its decision follows the Council of Ministers on « … the repeal of the decree of April 2022 which enshrines the return to the provisions of the decree of 2008, « according to the spokesman of the Government, Jean-Emmanuel Ouédraogo. »Notwithstanding the provisions of this 2008 decree, the President of the Transition, Captain Ibrahim TRAORE, has decided to keep his salary as Captain, » announced Jean-Emmanuel Ouédraogo. But for Captain Ibrahim Traoré himself, it is a question of « showing this spirit of sacrifice that must inhabit each Burkinabe in the current situation of our country ».

In this same dynamic, according to the government spokesman, the ministers also decided to devote 50% of their November salaries to the National Solidarity Fund in support of people in difficulty.

From the approach of the President of Burkina Faso, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, we remember above all through his gesture, a permanent concern for sacrifice for the public cause.
