(Ecofin Agency) - In an interview on Gabon television, the new vice-Prime Minister, minister of Urbanism, Social Housing and, Bruno Ben Moubamba, said the land issue was one of the “most urgent” he intended to deal with.

Announcing an upcoming bill land property, the official’s diagnosis is implacable. “Land is a real problem in Gabon. All landholders must have titles. This project aims to help identify people living lands across the territory,” he said.

Let’s recall that Mr. Moubamba promised to deliver 10,000 social housing each year during the recent presidential elections. His determination is more than comprehensible especially since his office faces a gangrene which is spreading all over the African continent.

The new bill is expected to be submitted soon to the National Assembly.
