In his speech, Mr SED/CGN made it clear that the President of the Republic, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, chose these two Generals with regard to their perfect mastery of the military arcana. After having congratulated them on their promotion, the National Gendarmerie boss urged them to perform their new duties with diligence, rigor and patriotic commitment. He equally called on them to be fully concerned in the up-coming challenges that the Nationale Gendarmerie must overcome: securing a successful back to school and the upcoming elections.

Mr SED then made it clear to the Major General that he expects him to carryout a precise and objective analysis as well as reports on how the missions of the National Gendarmerie are carried out. He equally expects, from him, an evaluation on the activities of the National Gendarmerie and proposals that could further strengthen the security measures of the National Gendarmerie in line with the deployment norms of the Corps.
