Africa-Press – Togo. <\/strong><\/span>On n\u2019imagine pas \u00e0 quel point un Etat peut \u00eatre vuln\u00e9rable, lorsqu\u2019un homme politique se laisse \u00ab acheter \u00bb par des hommes d\u2019affaires v\u00e9reux, sachant flairer le politicien avec un potentiel, et m\u00eame des chances d\u2019acc\u00e9der \u00e0 la magistrature supr\u00eame ! Un homme (ou une femme) qui, une fois aux affaires, leur renverra l\u2019ascenseur, les laissant piller, pourquoi pas, les entreprises d\u2019\u00c9tat, l\u2019\u00c9tat\u2026 Un peu comme les Gupta, en Afrique du Sud, sous Jacob Zuma.<\/b>
\nL\u2019Afrique du Sud semble perplexe, face \u00e0 la co\u00efncidence entre l\u2019arrestation, en d\u00e9but de semaine \u00e0 Duba\u00ef, de deux fr\u00e8res Gupta impliqu\u00e9s dans le pillage de l\u2019Etat sous Jacob Zuma, et la suspension de la M\u00e9diatrice de la R\u00e9publique, en charge de la lutte contre la corruption, par le pr\u00e9sident Ramaphosa, qu\u2019elle poursuit. Comment expliquer que les mandats de tous les successeurs de Mandela soient entach\u00e9s par de tels scandales ?<\/b><\/p>\n

Mandela avait voulu, \u00e0 la fin de l\u2019apartheid, l\u2019\u00e9mergence d\u2019une \u00e9lite \u00e9conomique noire. Des fortunes ont alors vu le jour, qui s\u2019apparentent aux oligarques, en Russie. Madiba demandait implicitement aux leaders de l\u2019ANC de choisir entre faire partie de la direction politique du pays et s\u2019enrichir. Syndicaliste avis\u00e9, Ramaphosa avait alors pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 aller faire fortune, et n\u2019est revenu \u00e0 la vie politique active que plus tard. Zuma, lui, voulait et le pouvoir et l\u2019argent. C\u2019est ce qui l\u2019a si souvent conduit aux fr\u00e9quentations peu recommandables, qu\u2019il tra\u00eene comme autant de boulets. Pour couvrir ses arri\u00e8res, il tentera, en vain, de positionner son ex-\u00e9pouse, pour lui succ\u00e9der. Puis il a nomm\u00e9 cette m\u00e9diatrice, qui n\u2019a cess\u00e9 de le prot\u00e9ger.<\/p>\n

Il faudra, certes, \u00e9claircir l\u2019affaire des cambrioleurs de la ferme de Ramaphosa. Mais, l\u2019affaire Gupta est autrement plus grave. Et, pour \u00eatre juste, Thabo Mbeki n\u2019\u00e9tait pas corrompu. Il avait juste tent\u00e9, maladroitement, d\u2019emp\u00eacher Zuma, qu\u2019il consid\u00e9rait comme corrompu, de s\u2019asseoir dans un fauteuil sanctifi\u00e9 par Mandela, et que lui-m\u00eame avait valablement occup\u00e9. C\u2019est ce qui lui a valu d\u2019\u00eatre contraint \u00e0 la d\u00e9mission, mais l\u2019histoire lui a largement donn\u00e9 raison, depuis.<\/p>\n

Mandela n\u2019a-t-il pas involontairement introduit le virus de l\u2019avidit\u00e9 dans le pays ?<\/b><\/p>\n

Nullement ! Un leader, si \u00e9clair\u00e9 soit-il, ne peut pr\u00e9voir comment peuvent \u00eatre perverties dans le futur, les orientations qu\u2019il donne. Au lendemain des ind\u00e9pendances, F\u00e9lix Houphou\u00ebt-Boigny aussi avait voulu que l\u2019\u00e9lite politique qui l\u2019entourait s\u2019enrichisse, pour g\u00e9n\u00e9rer une bourgeoisie nationale, \u00e0 laquelle il demandait de faire ruisseler vers les communaut\u00e9s dont elle \u00e9tait issue ce qu\u2019elle engrangeait de sa proximit\u00e9 avec le pouvoir. Il n\u2019emp\u00eache que, recevant les rapports sur la fortune astronomique d\u2019un patron des Douanes, le \u00ab Vieux \u00bb, avec ce calme qui le caract\u00e9risait, s\u2019exclamera : \u00ab C\u2019est \u00e0 moi qu\u2019incombe la faute ! Je l\u2019ai laiss\u00e9 trop longtemps \u00e0 ce poste ! \u00bb.<\/p>\n

Pour s\u00e9vir contre ces abus scandaleux, le \u00ab Vieux \u00bb s\u2019appuie alors sur un ing\u00e9nieur fran\u00e7ais, directeur des Grands Travaux. Sans \u00eatre au gouvernement, Antoine C\u00e9sar\u00e9o, dans les ann\u00e9es 1980, \u00e9tait redout\u00e9 des ministres et de tous.<\/p>\n

Mais C\u00e9sar\u00e9o commen\u00e7ait \u00e0 prendre trop d\u2019importance. Aussi, le jour de la r\u00e9ception des cl\u00e9s de la basilique de Yamoussoukro, dont il supervisait la construction, il est subitement cong\u00e9di\u00e9 par Houphou\u00ebt-Boigny. Tr\u00e8s vite, le \u00ab Vieux \u00bb r\u00e9alise qu\u2019il lui faut quelqu\u2019un d\u2019autre, pour temp\u00e9rer la gloutonnerie ambiante. Il charge alors un certain Alassane Dramane Ouattara, gouverneur de la BCEAO, de coordonner l\u2019action gouvernementale. Celui-ci avait l\u2019avantage d\u2019\u00eatre peu connu des Ivoiriens, pour avoir fait ses \u00e9tudes \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tranger, et n\u2019avoir jamais travaill\u00e9 au pays. Il le nomme finalement Premier ministre. La suite, on la conna\u00eet\u2026<\/p>\n

Ce que l\u2019on voit aujourd\u2019hui sur le continent n\u2019est-il donc que la suite de ce qui pr\u00e9valait sous Houphou\u00ebt-Boigny ?<\/b><\/p>\n

On dira : la finesse, en moins. Aujourd\u2019hui, tout commer\u00e7ant v\u00e9reux, qui a su miser sur un homme politique plus ou moins vuln\u00e9rable, qu\u2019il finance durant son parcours ou dans sa conqu\u00eate du pouvoir, se sent le droit de s\u2019engraisser sur le dos du peuple, une fois son \u00ab poulain \u00bb aux affaires. Margoulins, hommes de paille et autres Gupta surgissent alors, pour non seulement s\u2019enrichir, mais aussi piller l\u2019Etat et peser sur ses d\u00e9cisions majeures. Souvent, avec la complicit\u00e9 de quelques hauts fonctionnaires cupides.<\/p>\n
