Pressure mounts on Cissé Bacongo from the courts and National Assembly

Nearly five months after the June 3, 2026 demolitions at Koumassi Campement, Abidjan district governor Ibrahim Cissé Bacongo, who has already been heard by the courts, could face questions in the National Assembly. RHDP lawmaker Adjaratou Traoré said her request for a parliamentary inquiry and public debate had been officially acknowledged by the Assembly’s president. On October 21, Patrick Achi confirmed receipt of her request for oral questions and a debate on the eviction operations. The matter could be examined before the ordinary session ends on December 31.
