Trucks intercepted on July 2nd near By Pass Rodolphe Razakandisa has responded to the minister of Land Planning and Land Services. No connection. "I am not the owner of this land... I have no link, neither directly nor indirectly, with this matter. I formally deny the dissemination of false information claiming my involvement in this case," declared Rodolphe Razakandisa, father of former First Lady Mialy Rajoelina. He breaks his silence to contradict the accusations against him in the illegal fill matter intercepted at By Pass. Publication. Last week, the minister of Land Planning and Land Services, Lylison René de Roland, publicly announced that the name of former president Andry Rajoelina's father-in-law appears in the legal status certificate of this land. He would be among the heirs of this land located in the middle of By Pass. The information was immediately relayed widely by pro-government activists. But the response was not long in coming. On July 17th, in a publication, the person concerned categorically denied the accusations against him, while explaining that this is misinformation, as the filling work is not among his current priorities. "At 76 years old, my main concern is my health," he said. A clarification that has sparked numerous reactions in political circles. The question that arises is which of the two personalities is telling the truth. We will certainly have the first elements of response in the coming days or hours, as during his intervention, General Lylison René de Roland, former governor of Sofia region during the Rajoelina regime, had stated that the case is now in the hands of investigators and confirmation will be given shortly. Precedent. Was the minister deceived or misinformed by his collaborators? While the case is still at the preliminary investigation stage, officials are already rushing to present the presumed perpetrators to the public. Among observers, some mention suspicion of a smear campaign aimed at tarnishing the image of those close to the former regime's leaders. There was already a precedent with the matter relating to a series of kidnappings in Antananarivo, which those in power quickly assimilated to a politically destabilizing maneuver orchestrated from outside, before retracting later by advancing the cryptocurrency angle. Shadows. So far, no evidence has been made public despite the arrests of some presumed perpetrators of the kidnappings. In any case, regarding the illegal fill matter that the head of state, Colonel Michaël Randrianirina, discovered at By Pass on July 2nd, there are still several gray areas. It is undeniable that with the firmness currently displayed by the Justice department and the Refoundation authorities, no one would dare attempt to carry out fill work in broad daylight, in full view of everyone, without any authorization or at least some high-level backing. Dismissal. The existence of a service note issued in June by the general director of the Authority for Protection Against Flooding of the Antananarivo Plain (APIPA), prohibiting all agents of this body from conducting field operations, is also controversial. According to this note, APIPA agents are forbidden from controlling illegal fill, even in their areas of jurisdiction. Could the dismissal, during the last Council of Ministers, of the director general who signed the note, be linked to this matter?
