Pierre Claver Maganga Moussavou (born 8 April 1952〔David E. Gardinier, ''Historical Dictionary of Gabon'', p.466〕) is a Gabonese politician. Born to a Punu family〔Franck Salin, "(Pierre Claver Maganga Moussavou: "I am afraid for Gabon" )", afrik.com, 17 August 2009〕 in Mouila, Maganga Moussavou studied economic history at the National University of Gabon, then at the University of Rennes. He completed a doctorate at the Sorbonne in just two years, his thesis entitled "L'aide publique de la France au développement du Gabon" being published in both French and English in the early 1980s. Returning to Gabon in 1978,〔"(Election présidentielle au GABON: Liste des candidats et leurs profils )", Cameroun Link 〕 he worked as Inspector General of Finance, an economic and financial adviser to the government, and then administrator of funds to the International Monetary Fund.〔 In 1990, Maganga Moussavou founded the Social Democratic Party. He stood for the party in the 1993 and 1998 presidential elections, never managing 1% of the vote. Despite this, President Omar Bongo appointed him to head a succession of ministries from the mid-1990s: Planning, Agriculture, Transport, Civil Aviation and Tourism.〔 Maganga Moussavou was elected as mayor of the 2nd arrondissement of the commune of Mouila in 2006, but was removed the following year, as Gabonese law prohibits serving Parliamentarians from acting as local political representatives.〔(DÉCISION N°138/CC DU 10 AVRIL 2007 ), Constitutional Court of Gabon 〕 In the election to replace him, he initially put up several proxy candidates, but subsequently withdrew them all and announced the his party was boycotting the vote. He also disrupted the counting of the vote by taking a ballot box to his house for several hours.〔"(Gabon: Politique: le président du PSD boycotte l'élection et qualifie le nouveau maire « d’inexpérimenté » )", ''Gabonews'', 28 July 2008〕 After Bongo's death, Maganga Moussavou announced his intention to stand in the 2009 presidential election. He initially remained Minister of Technical Education in Paul Biyoghe Mba's interim government, but following criticism from other opposition parties, he resigned his post three weeks before the election. His main policies were to promote population growth to a target of 5,000,000, to devolve more power to the regions, to double the minimum wage and to increase financial transparency.〔 He received 0.76% of the votes cast.〔"(Gabon : incidents après la victoire d'Ali Bongo )", ''Le Monde'', 3 September 2009〕 Following his departure from the government in August 2009, Maganga Moussavou returned to his seat in the National Assembly. On 6 February 2010, while discussing his parliamentary work with health personnel in Mouila, Maganga Moussavou said that the PSD remained part of the Presidential Majority supporting President Ali Bongo. He also spoke positively of the budget for the 2010 fiscal year, noting the amount of money allocated for investment, although he also criticized the failure to assign money to various projects that were initiated during Omar Bongo's presidency.〔("Ngounié-politique : Le leader du PSD réaffirme son encrage dans la majorité présidentielle" ), AGP, 9 February 2010 .〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pierre Claver Maganga Moussavou」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
