The Guinean National Assembly held a plenary session on November 7, 2026, to examine and adopt the expenditure section of the 2026 revised budget bill. During the debates, Mamadou Bhoye Bah, rapporteur of the Trade, Hospitality, Tourism, and Craft Commission, welcomed the reclassification of the Simbaya-Wanindara land reserve. He praised the quality of the report presented by the Finance Commission and expressed gratitude to the Head of State for this decision on behalf of the affected populations.
The reclassified land reserve, covering over 315 hectares, is located in the industrial zone of Simbaya-Wanindara and on Kassa Island. According to the decree issued on October 16, 2026, the reclassification aims to facilitate restructuring, regularization, and development for the benefit of occupants, while excluding public facilities, places of worship, security installations, and certain plots already under lease. This decision is expected to bring relief to the inhabitants, allowing them to carry out their activities and build their future with greater serenity.
Mamadou Bhoye Bah expressed his sincere thanks to President Mamadi Doumbouya for his leadership and love for the Guinean people. The reclassification of the land reserve is seen as a historic decision that aligns with the vision of a united, just, and inclusive Guinea, as outlined in the Simandou 2040 program. The decision is expected to have a positive impact on the lives of the people in Wanindara and neighboring communes.
The 2026 revised budget bill was adopted with the Finance Commission's report taking into account recommendations from various commissions, including the Trade, Hospitality, Tourism, and Craft Commission. The adoption of the bill marks a significant step in the country's budget planning and allocation of resources for the year.
The reclassification of the Simbaya-Wanindara land reserve has been met with appreciation from the local population, who had been affected by the previous land use designation. The inhabitants of Wanindara and surrounding communes can now look forward to exercising their activities and building their future with greater certainty and security.
President Mamadi Doumbouya's decision to reclassify the land reserve demonstrates his commitment to addressing the concerns of the Guinean people. The move is seen as a positive step towards promoting economic development and improving the living conditions of citizens.
The Guinean National Assembly's adoption of the 2026 budget amendment reflects the government's efforts to prioritize the needs of its citizens and promote sustainable development. The reclassification of the Simbaya-Wanindara land reserve is a key aspect of this effort, and its impact will be closely monitored in the coming months.
