To commemorate the International Day against Corruption, the UPR, most great majority of the Party held a presidential debate on mismanagement and an agreement with men Adil reviled as symbols of that mismanagement. The great hall of the Palais des Congres archicomble was, there was an impressive number of officials and courtiers, businessmen and brokers, and activists and militants. You could see in the front ranks, the President of the High Court of Justice, the Inspector General of the State and many others whose duties would normally restrict them to a minimum reserve. Attitudes have not changed, the political show is still considered the best way to show off, and the formal separation between the functions of political leadership and those managerial techniques of management and control is apparently not al ' agenda. Despite the speeches, slogans and psychosis, the reality remains unchanged in substance. The resources of the state and nation are still in the hands of those who are worst placed to ensure better management. The mediocrity continues to blight the functioning of the state. No systemic change has been introduced in the way of managing public affairs leads us to believe that the era of embezzlement and the mess is gone forever.
Diaw is a career diplomat on the eve of retirement. 35 years ago, it became official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in After training at the Ecole Nationale d'Administration (ENA) - a two-year course designed to prepare senior executives for diplomatic and consular functions. The ENA was an elite school by the standards of the time and had intended to remain before it is consumed by the same virus that was because of all the state institutions set up after Independence. Diaw has seen several of its promotionnaires access the prestigious Ambassador and Consul. For him, this has never been possible for reasons that he has never been clearly explained. His experience and skills have earned him not only to be swung from an embassy to another at the whim of management staff in the department. Diaw is not political and has no connections within the state apparatus.
Mohammed never made competition for admission to the Civil Service and has never trained in diplomacy. His university course is limited to a master's degree from the Faculty of Nouakchott and a year at the famous institute of the Arab League in Cairo whose diploma is recognized by any country EXCEPT Mauritania. He was recruited body coveted professors of higher education to which access is forbidden passage has doctors from prestigious universities and experienced teachers are told for reasons of age limit. It will not teach but will use its new status as official to be appointed Senior Diplomatic Adviser in Cairo where he will remain for fifteen years before being Coptic as a minister in the Government ephemeral O Yahya El Waghef. The President of the Republic will appoint an ambassador in one of the Gulf countries. Mohamed is the cousin of Ahmed Taleb O Bennahi, former director of the Office of President Ould Taya, and the husband of the sister of the wife of General Gazwani.
Both far from unique examples illustrate the contradictions of the current power which, while basing its legitimacy on the fight against mismanagement plunges increasingly in the management of routine and incompetence or deliberately ignores the actions it takes to make such a real legitimacy and clearly irrefutable. The agreement with Adil does not bode well and adds to the discredit of a Power which has been unable to distinguish himself from his predecessors, he adopted the method before copter men.
The fight against mismanagement which has become a slogan for the power from the coup of 6 August 2008 and has justified the deposition of the first elected President of Mauritania is an endemic disease whose treatment requires more than superficial measures, limited in content and duration and parts of a coherent and thoughtful to change profoundly the way in which managed the state affairs in this country. It is rooted in injustice and irrationality of the selection process for government jobs and total lack of effective procedures for monitoring and evaluation performances, starting with the most prestigious and most coveted public office the office of President of the Republic. Since the father of the nation and the military leaders who succeeded him at the head of the state have turned the election formality to confirm them in what he regards as their natural right and gutted procedures that limit and swing their power, the signal was given to all those who implicitly hold a small parcel of it being a public authority to act in the same way. The utility of such qu'hérité colonial administration was Mauritanization quickly, not in the sense of a symbiosis between modernity and Islamic values as the founding fathers wanted to Mauritania but in a tribal very close to what prevailed with colonization with informal network of allegiance and distribution advantages far from the Jacobin or Weberian conception of the state. Fifty years after independence, not a public institution is indistinguishable from the rest by impersonal rules well designed and fairly applied to managing its resources can be a model or an inspiration to emulate. This failure
pathetic governance processes that led to forms of mismanagement that knows its roots largely in the inability of the educated elite as'accorder lasting a minimum of principles and values that govern the ways in which are managed the affairs of state. Areas and skills of the latter are, remember, notions entirely foreign to the traditional society and ignored or rejected by its leaders. If the educated elite, enlightened by knowledge and knowledge accumulated over a long period, is unable to agree on aspirations common procedures and peaceful settlement of conflicts, what about the rest of a society marked by centuries of tribal feuds, violence as the preferred method of resolving conflicts, slavery and social animosity.
Fifty years after Independence, the tangle of powers, the dilution of responsibilities and the ineffectiveness of the controls remain the hallmarks of governance in Mauritania. Worse, no training and political leaders who have not articulated a clear vision of what must be done to change this state of things. Dialogue policy has never focused on these fundamental issues, or bring about reform proposals shared constitutional institutions in ways that ensure a more balanced redistribution of power and an aggregation of structures to limit their number and minimize their cost.
The President of the Republic whose real power does not limit must understand that it is his interest or that of the nation to voluntarily limit its power to supervise the work of his government and its administration . There is no risk that its prerogatives are threatened by a Parliament and a judiciary whose degree autonomy remains very dependent on the goodwill of the Executive. The Head of State must find the actions and mechanisms to serve the judges and the parliamentarians that they are accountable only to their conscience and the people who elected them. He must get rid of the Prime Minister who has no place in a system even if it is a fake coat of semi-parliamentary is actually a presidential system with parliamentary oversight and less.
To enable the judges to declare the law in full independence, their appointment shall be subject to a parliamentary debate to shed light on their competence and integrity. Before being confirmed in his post, and enjoy security of tenure conferred on him by law, a judge recently appointed by the Government can go before Parliament to persuade the elected representatives of its ability to perform its function and thus obtain a confirmation its role and its independence vis-à-vis the Executive.
Parliament which has never produced a bill nor the smallest censored officials should be limited to a single room. This is the opinion of the majority of those interested in public affairs in Mauritania. The Senate is expensive and its value added is nonexistent. Modes of appointing senators are unfair and favor corruption of local officials. Its removal will free resources that can be used to improve the work of the National Assembly. Members even if their salaries are adequate logistics and lack of expertise, without which their work is still lacking consistency. MPs and parliamentary committees must have qualified assistants and documentation to give effect to their power of analysis, investigation and evaluation.
political dialogue called for by the opposition and wanted by the authorities has meaning that their interest to these fundamental questions and tries to reach a real compromise on a system of separation and articulation of constitutional powers that political actors must respect.
The effectiveness of public action is also intrinsically linked to the establishment of a state bureaucracy, whose authority derives from a recognized expertise in solving problems facing society. Whether it's Mandarin Chinese, French or Enarque these leaders think tanks who are recruited mainly from among former students of the great University of the East Coast, it is always placed in command of the control system of the company's most intelligent and most capable. Researchers and professionals in human resource management have developed sophisticated instruments that ensure an optimal match between the men and their assigned tasks with a view to maximum economic and social efficiency. Ignoring these aspects has already cost our country dearly and is likely to cost him even more if nothing changes in how cases are handled by the state.
President Chirac has visited the School of Excellence newly created Arafat and urged students to enhance their efforts and as'orienter to scientific disciplines or discipline is required. His government promised to increase such facilities and create a new university campus with greater diversification of courses of higher education. The laudable aim is to bridge the considerable delay in the training of high level and good quality. Timely guidance that accommodates nevertheless very poorly with the persistence of management of State personnel in approximate almost entirely dominated by nepotism and political patronage and social development. Worse, the state's largest employer, which turns to the majority of graduates of Higher Education offers no prospect of interesting careers and recruitment capabilities are limited by the mass already present unskilled agents mostly good for nothing, he can not be separated for political reasons they said.
Neither the Ministry of Civil Service, nor of Higher Education do not have appropriate strategies for the Government out of this mess. They have neither the skills, or resources to put in place appropriate mechanisms to ensure that competition from the top takes shape and moves in time.
Fifty years after independence and twenty years after the first attempts to reform the public service (Project Development and Institutional Reform implemented in the late 80's under the structural adjustment plans), the state continues to ignore the exact number of agents - despite successive censuses of 1990, 2007 (National Education), 2008, 2010, which cost a fortune. Worse, thousands of officials and some held the upper echelons of the administration have been recruited through illegal procedures under the pressure of customer demand, the main engine of growth in the number of Civil Service. The state officials have never been a serious assessment as if their quality and cost are unimportant.
In all countries there are standards for evaluating the skills, education levels and skills, and abilities. In Mauritania, the only standard available is the University of Nouakchott, one of the worst performers on the African continent, a disgrace to a country that was at one time a place for acquiring knowledge.
After thirty years of existence, the only university in the country continues to fail its mission to create a national home for excellence in learning and mastering the skills required for technicians and top managers . Students go there for want of better. His teachers are leaving as soon as the opportunity arises. His credentials can be forged. Its graduates are growing the most frequently ranks of the unemployed without qualifications. Despite its shortcomings well established since its inception, nothing serious has never been done to change this situation. Worse, it became by force of circumstances, the default standard on which to measure the degrees obtained by students Mauritanians abroad. Also, all those who will spend some time elsewhere in the country can return highly educated, they have complicity in the commission of equivalence, structure neglected despite its importance and usefulness. It is therefore not surprising that the shortest path to career success is to go to Cairo to spend a sabbatical year in a training center known as the pompous Institute Arab World, not recognized by any country, including Egypt, the country that hosts it, and returns after a year barded a postgraduate degree, the favorite ticket for entry into the body very popular with teachers Higher Education.
Our country's resources such as likes to say its leaders but its elite since its inception sows the seeds of its collapse. The keys are always hello and as has always been the case in the hands of the President of the Republic. He is the only board was responsible. His ambition led him to occupy a place that no one should Whereas envy him the responsibilities it entails and why it meets at least against Allah, and certainly before history, stories if there a.
The President of the Republic has the choice of rise to the level of historical responsibilities that are hers to create the conditions for a revival of the Mauritanian nation or become a slave to his ambition and therefore puppet of a class of lawless opportunists who see him as the gateway to the satisfaction of their need to talk constantly on behalf of the community. This choice depends on the quality of content given to the fight against the mismanagement and the degree of legitimacy of power Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz. Posted by
