Better understand the origins of poverty in Togo

The government’s mission is to take care of the country’s politics and organize its life.

Its aim is to harmonize economic development, social equity and environmental protection. All public policies are also involved: international action, economic and social policies, action in the field of education or research, or even sectoral policies.

The main objective of any government is economic growth, full employment, balanced balance of payments, price stability and fair distribution of income.

Paradoxically in Togo, citizens have difficulty identifying the missions and objectives of their government.

The facts are quite striking in many sectors.

Yango, the operator of passenger transportation services that offers the best rates in Togo, has been banned from activities throughout the national territory according to a press release issued on Thursday October 17, 2024.

The Togolese government, through the Ministry of Road and Rail Transport, announced the illegal activities of the company which employs at least 700 Togolese as drivers.

The Togolese government accuses the Dutch company present in several African countries of “violating all the required administrative procedures and authorizations. These failures represent significant risks to our country, particularly the safety risk to consumers in the absence of adequate controls.

For a government that boasts about improving the business climate, what prevents it from supporting society to meet the necessary administrative conditions in order to protect jobs for the happiness of its population?

Instead, informed sources recall a question of competition that other platforms supported by keen commentators would not accept, so this structure needs to be made to disappear like others, especially CECO Group without amenities. Imagine, CECO Group, this Buildings and Public Works (BTP) company that employed about 1,562 workers collapsed under the casual terror of those in power.

How can we understand that Togo, a clinker producer, has cement prices that are more prohibitive than other non-producing countries, ie 80,000 F per ton compared to 55,000 F in the country of Seyni Kountché?

From which market does Togo get its butane gas so that the 12.5 kg cylinder is sold at 9,875 F compared to 3,750 F in Niger? Niger has no port, but ships from Lomé.

How can we understand that plane tickets for the same trips cost more in Togo than elsewhere?

What did the Togolese people do to suffer such a guillotine?

Looking at it closely, it’s just that the leaders, instead of being at the service of the population to make them happy, have transformed themselves into business men and women. With interests everywhere at the center of insider trading, those who embody power, like true crooked traders, instead plunge the population into hell.

The institutions for regulating life are so toothless, unfortunately accompanying the population in its descent into hell.

From whom does salvation come?
