Burkina Fosa: Establishment of a commission to address dysfunctions in the public administration
To address the anomalies occurring at various levels within the public administration, the Burkinabe government has adopted a decree establishing the Regulatory Commission for Malfunctions (CRD).
Under the supervision of the President’s office, the CRD will be tasked with detecting and correcting malfunctions within the central and decentralized structures of civil, paramilitary, and military administrations. Its jurisdiction will extend to local governments, state-owned enterprises, public institutions, and publicly recognized associations.
According to Minister Aboubakar Savadogo, the creation of this commission marks a decisive turning point in the fight against corruption and inefficiencies in public administration. By allowing strict regulation and direct intervention in cases of malfunction, the CRD will help strengthen citizens’ trust in public institutions.
The establishment of the CRD brings several promises for Burkina Faso. First, public officials, aware of being under surveillance, will be more inclined to comply with established norms and procedures, thereby reducing the risks of corruption and mismanagement. The prompt resolution of malfunctions by the CRD will optimize resources and improve public services, directly benefiting citizens.
The initiative by President Ibrahim Traoré and his government in creating the Regulatory Commission for Malfunctions marks a significant advancement for Burkina Faso. It demonstrates a firm commitment to modernizing public administration, combating misconduct, and establishing a climate of trust and transparency. By welcoming this initiative, Burkinabe citizens hope to see significant improvements in public management, propelling the country towards exemplary governance that benefits all its citizens.
