Mouhoun: The President of the Special Delegation (PDS) of the municipality of Tcheriba, Ouesseni Logora, convened the first ordinary session of 2026 on April 7 and 8, focusing on critical municipal management files and the execution of development projects.

Investment revenues reached 95,561,090 FCFA, with an issuance rate of 95.5%, although expenditure execution was low at 0.99% due to central administration authorization constraints.
