Benin: Rachidi Odjo Denies Any Dismissal at the National Assembly – La Nouvelle Tribune

Rachidi Odjo, director of the communication unit of the Beninese National Assembly, stated that the 52 agents affected by the September 3, 2026 decisions are not dismissed. Two decisions signed by Joseph Fifamin Djogbénou concern 39 agents, whose administrative status is being reviewed, with their relationship with the Assembly remaining intact but their permanent agent status revoked. The second decision involves 13 deputy assistants, originally employed by deputies, and calls for their removal from the parliamentary civil service while maintaining indefinite contracts. Odjo clarifies that these measures relate to their administrative status, not job termination.
