Burkina: ‘Legal texts constitute the foundation from which a State is built’, Prime Minister

The Burkinabe Prime Minister, Apollinaire Kyélem de Tambèla, declared Thursday, during an interview granted to the press, that legal texts constitute the foundation from which a State is built so as not to be in disorder."Legal texts are the memory of the State, they are the foundation, they are the base from which a State is built so as not to be a State of disorder, so it is very very important," indicated Prime Minister Dr Apollinaire Kyélem of Tambèla.For him, his department set up this database to serve as a base, a benchmark for public administration.Dr Kyélem, referred on Thursday in Ouagadougou, to the presentation of a legal text bank platform, designed by the Prime Minister."From this data, we can have all the texts not only from the Prime Minister's office but also those that govern the country," he added.The head of government also invited the public to consult this database which will facilitate their research work."We are the first to have implemented it. Elsewhere, we are still try ing to do it but it does not work. In a short time we have implemented it and I think that it can serve as an example to the entire administration to accelerate the digitalization of data and dematerialization," said the Prime Minister.Dr Apollinaire Kyélem de Tambèla, specified that the government intends to generalize the bank of legal texts throughout the national territory.'Digitization and dematerialization is the government's priority,' said Apollinaire Kyélem of Tambèla.The legal text bank brings together more than 11,000 regulations under a single internal secure digital platform, accessible to all of the Prime Minister's departments.Source: Burkina Information Agency
