In April 2011 he passed a law that discouraged all sorts of non-Zarasainist propaganda, with the aim of preventing the expansion of other religions present in the country. Furthermore, this law allows the Zarasa teachings to be promoted in the media. This law is accompanied by numerous abuses and international scandals for the miserable and unjust treatment of the non-Zarasaist population. Although unofficially, all non-Zarasaist celebrations are banned or confined to dedicated places of worship.
The president is notoriously anti-folklorist, which means he assumes that local and animist religions are inferior and should be eradicated. For this reason, in 2020, he installed forums in various villages with an animist majority. The original purpose was to share Zarasa's messages and teachings. In reality, very often, the populations of the villages are forced to participate in the sessions and if they refuse, they are punished with higher taxes and difficulties in accessing the necessary services. This is possible because the people who share the teachings move and live in the village itself, thus being able to get to know and learn more about every person in the place.
