Claude Antoine Dacosta
Claude Antoine Dacosta (* 1931 - May 1, 2007 ) was Prime Minister of the Republic of the Congo from 1992 to 1993 .
Political career
Dacosta was director of water and forestry in the 1960s. He later worked for the World Bank .
On December 6, 1992, the non-party Dacosta became Prime Minister of a "government of national unity". His predecessor fell through a vote of no confidence. President Pascal Lissouba dissolved parliament in November. The new elections held in May and June 1993 were overshadowed by unrest and were canceled. His term of office ended on June 23, 1993, when President Lissouba appointed ex-President Joachim Yhombi-Opango as the new head of government.
Dacosta later went into exile, as did Lissouba and Yhombi-Opango . When a trial of high treason and embezzlement took place against Lissouba in Brazzaville in December 2001 , Dacosta and his successor Yhombi-Opango were also indicted. The verdict against the absent defendants was a fine of 30 years in prison for Lissouba and 20 years for the others.
