“For my new ministers, I will like to congratulate the new Ministers and Secretaries of State who have just joined the government team.
“You are men and women of experience, committed people, I am convinced that you will make an important contribution to the daily action of the government.
“As you have seen, we have expanded the government to reflect the diversity of our country. Thus, almost all regions of Côte d’Ivoire are represented.
“One of the major changes is the split of the Ministry of Interior and Security, this was the case from 1991 to 2011.
“The separation of these two Ministries seems necessary considering the importance of the challengesin our country,” he explained.
