Guinean Prime Minister, Kabinet Komara, has hinted that he had no plans to resign from his Prime Minister’s post, arguing that he wished to remain with his initial commitments to serve in full neutrality his country as part of a transition that will lead his fellow citizens to freely choose their leaders.
The Prime Minister’s precision comes in the wake of a series of resignations by cabinet members and three advisors to the junta leader.
Speaking to the press, Kabinet Komara, said that “the resignation of cabinet members, though not desirable sometimes, is quite normal because they are free people who, for their own reasons, felt inept to continue their mission.”
For those who remain on board, he said, this is a personal choice. “The main thing for them will be to close ranks and continue protecting the higher interests of the nation,” he said.
“For my part, I beg to remain that I am keeping on with the commitment spirit I announced when I took office, that is serving in full neutrality, with partisan-free spirit my country through a transition that is expected to lead my fellow citizens to have leaders they will have chosen freely,” he said.
Mr. Komara said that he was facing a dilemma : “Today, my situation resembles that of a person who is aboard a vessel in which two groups of his family are in serious disagreement.”
“I have two choices : one is to try to save my head and let the ship burn and the second is to have the courage to extinguish the fire by bringing each other to learn from the disaster. This is the second choice I made without heroism or complacency,” he said.
Guinean Prime Minister’s statement comes at a time when the country’s major professional social strata require the departure of the new ruling military authorities and the establishment of a government of national unity.
Prime Minister Kabinet Komara was appointed head of the Guinean government after the junta seized the power in December 2008 following President Lansana Conté’s death.
In 2007, he was on the list of supposed Prime Ministers proposed by the international trade union and the civil society, following the painful events that had shaken the country and left hundreds dead.
