In a rare show of bipartisan collaboration, members of Chad’s National Assembly representing the province of Moyen-Chari have embarked on a consultative mission to strengthen social cohesion, bolster security, and accelerate local development.
During a key meeting held in Sarh on Friday, the delegation—comprising MPs Nganderé Djimet, Ndougonna Mbakasse Riradjim, Ngaradjina Roubakoua, and Ngalaba Kossi—was received by the Government’s General Delegate, Abdraman Ahmat Bargou.
The gathering marked the launch of a series of engagements designed to align national policymaking with the lived realities of constituents across the province.
“Our goal is to listen, understand, and relay your priorities to the National Assembly,” said MP Djimet, speaking on behalf of the group.
“This is about ensuring that local voices help shape national decisions.”
The discussions touched on several critical issues, including persistent security challenges, limited economic opportunities, and the need for deeper social integration.
Acknowledging the efforts of local security forces, the Government Delegate praised the MPs’ initiative as “patriotic and responsible,” but noted that “pockets of tension” remain due to the actions of “malicious individuals.”
He called on the lawmakers to serve as effective advocates for the region’s developmental needs.
“Beyond your political affiliations, you are united in your mission to serve,” Bargou said. “This sends a powerful message to a population that yearns for peace, justice, and progress.”
Economic development, particularly among women and youth, emerged as a key theme. Bargou emphasized the need to accelerate targeted projects that can generate jobs and strengthen the province’s resilience.
He urged the MPs to champion these priorities within legislative corridors.
The delegation also announced plans for extensive field visits in the coming days. These direct engagements with communities will provide a clearer picture of pressing needs and enable the lawmakers to shape more responsive policy proposals.
As the country navigates a complex political and socioeconomic landscape, the Moyen-Chari MPs’ outreach is being seen as a model of proactive and inclusive governance—where listening becomes the first step toward sustainable action.
