The Honorable Bema Coulibaly tours the Tonkpi region to report on parliamentary proceedings

The chairman of the RHDP parliamentary group met with members of the delegations tasked with touring the country’s 30 regions, ahead of the national day for reporting back on the National Assembly’s work.

As part of the national day for reporting on parliamentary activities, the Honorable Bema Coulibaly—head of the delegation for the Tonkpi region—participated in a series of preparatory meetings held yesterday at the RHDP parliamentary group’s headquarters. During these meetings, the group’s chairman met with delegation members and local MPs to present the roadmap and scope of their mission.

A major innovation: the national tour

This year, the National Assembly is innovating. Gone are the traditional reporting sessions; instead, a large-scale national tour is taking place. Thirty delegations, each comprising three MPs, are being deployed across the country’s thirty regions (excluding Abidjan). Each delegation has a precise roadmap and a program developed in consultation with local MPs.

Reporting back, explaining, and bridging the gap

The mission of these delegations is clear: to establish a program with local elected officials, present the institutional framework, showcase the National Assembly, and explain the role of an MP to the public. Using a memo issued by the National Assembly, the 27 laws passed will be explained—including 10 key laws that directly impact citizens’ daily lives. Among these is the 2026–2030 National Development Program, which outlines state priorities for each region while taking their specific characteristics into account.

Heading to Tonkpi

The Honorable Bema Coulibaly will lead the delegation assigned to the Tonkpi region. “We are called upon to go and explain all this to the public,” he said, highlighting the importance of this democratic event.

A well-established parliamentary schedule

As a reminder, the National Assembly operates in two sessions: the first, lasting six months, concludes at the end of June and is followed by a three-month recess. Proceedings resume on October 1st for the budget session, which lasts three months. This reporting-back initiative takes place within this framework, in accordance with instructions from the presidents of the National Assembly and the parliamentary group.
