“No one will get you into public service by…”

This Ivorian minister is categorical: “Nobody will get you into the public service in…”

In a country where public employment is extremely coveted because of the many advantages it offers, many young people aspire to join the civil service in Côte d’Ivoire. However, the Ivorian minister in charge of the public service, recently made a statement that created controversy: “Nobody will make you enter the public service in…”.

This sentence, pronounced during an official speech, immediately attracted the attention of the media and aroused strong reactions from citizens. Indeed, Ivorians are traditionally attached to public employment, considered as a stable and secure means of earning a living. In addition, access to a position in the public service is often perceived as a guarantee of social and professional success.

While many young graduates and unemployed people eagerly await an opportunity to join the civil service, the minister’s words have created a sense of frustration and despair among some of them. Yet behind this shocking statement lies a more complex reality.

Indeed, the minister later clarified that his intention was to put an end to the corrupt practices that plague recruitment in the public service. According to him, access to public employment should not depend on connections, bribes or the recommendation of certain influential people. He wants to establish full transparency in the recruitment process and ensure that only the most deserving candidates are selected.

This position can be seen as a strong signal sent to Ivorian citizens and the international community. Indeed, by denouncing corrupt practices and announcing his intention to eradicate them, the minister is sending a clear message: in Côte d’Ivoire, entry into the civil service will no longer be based on relationships, but on skills and merit.

Of course, there is still a lot of work to be done to put in place a recruitment system based solely on merit. Concrete measures must be taken to guarantee the objectivity of the evaluations and the transparency of the results. Moreover, it is imperative that citizens have confidence in the public administration and its ability to carry out fair and equitable recruitment.

The fight against corruption in the public service is a major challenge, which requires the cooperation of all the actors concerned. Citizens must also play their part by reporting cases of corruption they observe and refusing to participate in these practices. The media and civil society organizations should continue to highlight cases of corruption and put pressure on the authorities to take the necessary measures.

In conclusion, the statement by the Ivorian minister in charge of the civil service caused controversy, but it also opened up an important debate on access to public employment in Côte d’Ivoire. While the fight against corruption in the public sector is a daunting challenge, it is essential to continue working to ensure that recruitment is made on the basis of merit and skills, and not connections or bribes . The road will be long, but it is essential for the construction of a rule of law and a more just and equitable society.
