“Situation of agricultural equipment debts: The government announces strong measures for recovery”, headlines the headline of the oldest private Burkinabe dailies, L'Observateur Paalga.

The National Society for Land Development and Rural Equipment (SONATER) organized a press conference on November 15, 2023 on the situation of receivables relating to the sale of agricultural equipment, the newspaper reports.

According to the private daily Le Pays, SONATER intends to take strong measures against its debtors in the coming days in order to recover its debts.

The newspaper of all Burkinabè Sidwaya adds that the debts amount to more than 11 billion FCFA.

Under another aspect, the private daily L'express du Faso, published in Bobo-Dioulasso, headlines on its front page, “Management of the dengue epidemic: SYNTSHA calls into question the authorities' therapy”.

The newspaper reports that for Bernard Sanon, Secretary General (SG) of the National Bureau (BN), rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) for dengue fever are in short supply because there have been no significant support measures.

The Country adds that according to the SG of the BN, people diagnosed are left to their own devices, which increases mortality.

As a result, SYNTSHA denounces the bourgeois nature of our health system and calls on the authorities to implement real anti-vector control actions and to improve the diagnostic and therapeutic capacities of health facilities throughout the territory.
