Polygamy has always existed in history,' Burkina Faso Prime Minister Dr Apollinaire Kyelem de Tambèla asked on Thursday.According to him, democracy and freedom must be defined in a specific societal framework, according to local realities, and not according to imported concepts.He was speaking during an ordinary session of the National Council for the Modernization of Public Administration and Good Governance (CN-MABG).The head of government called for thoughtful modernization, anchored in the socio-cultural specificities of Burkina Faso.Source: Burkina Information Agency
