Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara reappointed Patrick Achi as Prime Minister on Tuesday April 19, a week after his resignation and that of his government.
The Head of State made this announcement during his address to the nation, before the parliamentarians gathered in Congress, National Assembly and Senate, in the political capital Yamoussoukro.
“It is to take into account the global economic situation and the necessary reduction in state spending that the government which will be put in place this week will be tightened. Mr. Prime Minister, you have my instructions to this effect”, he declared to the attention of Achi to whom he renewed his confidence.
Last week, the Ivorian leader had mentioned a government team of around thirty people against forty currently.
The Head of State also appointed Tiémoko Meyliet Koné, governor of the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO) since 2011, to the vice-president’s door which had been vacant since nearly July 2020.
The President praised Koné by presenting him as « a personality who has demonstrated her personal and professional qualities in all the high positions she has held in public administration, the Ivorian government and outside from Ivory Coast « .
“I thank you for shortening your mandate to come and serve your country,” invited the president.
