In a significant financial decision, the Mounana City Council, located in the Lébombi-Léyou department in southeastern Gabon, convened for an ordinary session on Saturday, April 11, 2026. The council, presided over by Mayor Emerick Cédric Maka Tongo, reached a unanimous decision to approve the budget for the 2026 fiscal year. The budget, totaling 213.8 million F CFA, was meticulously reviewed and adopted, reflecting a careful balance between revenues and expenditures.
The budget approval came after a thorough examination of the 2025 administrative account, which was also approved without reservation. The session, held at the City Hall and attended by local administrative and security authorities, as well as Deputy Rodrigue Bokoko, marked a strategic move for the municipality. Despite the budget’s reduction of approximately 60 million F CFA from the previous year’s exercise, it signifies the city’s commitment to navigate through a more constrained budgetary environment.
Beyond the numbers, the session highlighted a series of measures aimed at enhancing the municipal finances. A key focus is the management of land, with a long-term goal to strengthen the city’s own resources. This strategic approach is part of a broader effort to ensure sustainable financial stability for Mounana.
In addition to the budgetary matters, the session also discussed the operationalization of the Central Purchasing Agency of Gabon, a tool designed to regulate purchasing processes. The agency’s launch is expected to bring efficiency and transparency to the procurement system, benefiting various sectors of the economy.
The meeting also served as a platform to discuss broader issues affecting the region. The President’s recent tour of the Ogooué-Maritime region underscored the importance of energy sovereignty and urban modernization. Furthermore, the government’s commitment to digital literacy was evident with the launch of free training programs for 1,000 young people in digital careers.
As the city moves forward, the Mounana City Council’s approval of the budget and the implementation of strategic financial measures are crucial steps in ensuring the community’s growth and development.
