Modernisation de la gestion des ressources humaines de l’Etat : Convergence de vue totale entre le MINFOPRA et le MINJUSTICE.

Le Ministre de la Fonction Publique et de la Réforme Administrative, M. Joseph LE et son collègue le Ministre d'État, Ministre de la Justice Garde des sceaux, Laurent ESSO se sont entretenus ce mardi 13 juin 2023 dans la salle de conférences du MINJUSTICE. Conduisant une délégation interministérielle, le Ministre Joseph LE a tout d'abord remercié son aîné le Ministre d'État pour l'intérêt qu'il porte à la modernisation de notre administration publique.

L'incontournable Maîtrise des effectifs....

Revenant dans le vif du sujet, le MINFOPRA a mentionné que  la mise en place de la cartographie des postes de travail vise à maîtriser les effectifs de la Fonction Publique Camerounaise, via  l'opération d'assainissement du fichier solde et personnels de l'État. En ce qui concerne le MINJUSTICE, le MINFOPRA a fait savoir que les équipes opérationnelles y travailleront sur la base de l'existant et ceci dans le respect des textes régissant les trois corps de métiers à statut spécial notamment les greffiers, l'administration pénitentiaire et la Magistrature qui échappent à la compétence du MINFOPRA. Cette opération est un préalable à la mise en place du nouveau SIGIPES qui ambitionne de mettre l'ensemble des administrations dans un même progiciel.

Plaidoyer pour l'actualisation  de l'organigramme du MINJUSTICE....

Le Ministre d'État, Ministre de la Justice Garde des sceaux, Laurent ESSO après avoir félicité la démarche entreprise par le MINFOPRA, a présenté les missions régaliennes du département  ministériel dont il a la charge. Par la suite, il a plaidé pour une refonte de l'organigramme du MINJUSTICE afin de mieux s'adapter aux contextes et enjeux actuels dans le but de s'acquitter pleinement des missions à eux confiées par le CHEF DE L'ÉTAT, S.E PAUL BIYA, garant de l'indépendance du pouvoir judiciaire

Un groupe de travail conduit par les secrétaires généraux des deux ministères a été mis sur pied. Il aura pour mission de faire des propositions concrètes pour un meilleur déroulement de la mise en œuvre de la cartographie des postes de travail dans cette administration de souveraineté. La séance de travail s'est achevée par une visite guidée dans la bibliothèque du MINJUSTICE qui compte à ce jour à peu près 2500 ouvrages sur les domaines du droit en général./-

The second friendly meeting of women's football between the Greats Ladies of the Ministry of Public Service and Administrative Reform and the ladies of the Ministry of Livestock, Fisheries and Animal Industries ended in victory 2 against 1 for MINFOPRA on MINEPIA.

As part of the constitutive  activities marking the 137th  edition of the International  Labour day celebration at the Ministry of the Public Service and Administrative Reform, a successful return leg football match took place this 27th April 2023 at the Yaoundé  military stadium.
At the beginning of the first half of the 60 minutes match, the first goal came in from a great lady of MINFOPRA. Pushed by their counterparts, MINEPIA's ladies tried to equalize towards the end of the first half in a penalty shoot out  but they were unfortunately unsuccessful in this attempt. Not giving up but pressing to get an equalizer, the moment finally came during the second half of the match and the amazons of  MINEPIA scored a first goal. The victory was however short lived because, the great ladies of MINFOPRA seized control of the ball again and sent in another goal in the MINEPIA net.
This determinant goal, eventually gave them the upper hand over  the match and they emerged victorious with a total of 2 goals to 1.
It is worth noting that for the occasion of this 137th edition of the International Labour Day organized under the theme “resilience and decent work: working together in the world of work for the improvement of living conditions and social inclusion”, the Minister of the Public Service, and Administrative reform, Joseph LE and the Minister  of livestock, fisheries and animal industries, Dr TAIGA gave the kick off to start the game as a sign of collaboration and synergy between the two ministries.

It will seem that after losing the  last match, the great ladies of MINFOPRA went home and learnt new tactics to up their game and this was evident as they  beat the amazons of MINEPIA in this return leg and went home with the cup and other gifts.
