This meeting was organized by a collective of civil society including the Togo-Debout citizen front to discuss, he said, the shortcomings revealed in the Court of Auditors report on the management of Covid-19 response and solidarity funds.
A previous meeting announced for April 1 had already been banned. Speaking to our correspondent, Peter Sassou Dogbe, Professor David Dosseh, first spokesperson for the Togo-Debout Citizen Front, found this new ban shocking.
" We are particularly shocked by the ridiculousness of the arguments put forward by the prefect. As regards the first ban, precisely, the prefect had required three signatures, while the law on demonstrations never mentioned this.
For us, this is proof, once again, that the government is doing everything it can to prevent public debate on this fundamental issue of embezzlement, highlighted in the Court of Auditors' audit report. We must move forward.
