Togo: OHADA’s national commission urges magistrates to more professionalism

(Togo First) - Yesterday, a five-day workshop to reinforce capacities of commerce chambers’ magistrates regarding the OHADA legislation started.

This meeting is expected to help the magistrates know more about the OHADA uniform act organizing securities and the other organizing simplified recovery procedures and measures of execution.

Adding to OHADA’s other legislations, these laws are safe tools to ensure legal and judicial security across its member States.

According to Koami Gaméli Lodonou, executive secretary of the OHADA’s national commission, “legal security is already achieved under the laws”. Now, however, it must be paired with judicial security by ensuring that “magistrates apply the law strictly and professionally”.   

The current workshop, organized with the support of the World Bank’s International Development Agency (IDA), translates the will of the government, its technical and financial partners, to train magistrates to handling management of commercial conflicts better.

More generally, the move aligns with authorities’ reforms strategy aiming to make Togo’s business climate more appealing.
