LIBREVILLE, Gabon — On July 15, 2026, the President of the Constitutional Court, Dieudonné Aba’a Owono, met with a delegation from the Union of Retired Agents of Gabon’s Defense and Security Forces.
The delegation sought to bring the High Court’s attention to the social rights and financial benefits concerns of former state employees. This meeting followed the legal recognition of the association by the Ministry of the Interior and its official presentation to the national defense authorities. Now officially established, the organization aims to draw public attention to the precarious living conditions of many retired defense and security personnel.
The Union members are demanding the payment of several rights, benefits, and pensions they believe they are entitled to due to their years of service. They particularly denounce the differentiated treatment between categories of agents upon retirement, arguing that the application of existing laws benefits only a portion of the recipients. Officials commented on the matter. “.
Article 94 provides for an indemnity for services rendered to any agent admitted to retirement, while Article 104 stipulates that 80% of the last basic salary accompanies the retired agent. To date, only general officers have a decree of application related to these provisions. Today, our pensions are calculated on the basis of nothing, “Moussavou added.
In response to these complaints, President Aba’a Owono emphasized the need for applicants to pursue their claims within the strict framework of the republican system and in accordance with existing legal and administrative procedures.
