Burkina Faso: The fight against corruption is a priority for President Ibrahim Traoré
Since the beginning of his term, President Ibrahim Traoré has prominently emphasized the fight against corruption as one of his unavoidable priorities. This week, the Anti-Corruption Committees (ACC) of the Ministry of Economy, Finance, and Prospective have intensified their awareness campaign in the Central-East and Central-South regions, following successful stages in Bobo Dioulasso, Gaoua, and Koudougou.
On December 19, 2023, the ACC teams targeted the decentralized structures of the department in the Central-East, including the Regional Directorate of Public Procurement and Financial Commitments Control, the Regional Treasury, the Provincial Tax Directorate, and the Customs Office in Cinkansé.
In the Central-South, the awareness campaign took place at the Regional Budget Directorate, the Regional Treasury, the Regional Directorate of Public Procurement and Financial Commitments Control, the Provincial Tax Directorate in Manga, and the Customs Office in Dakola.
This campaign, orchestrated by the Inspectorate General of Finance (IGF), aims to inform users of the decentralized structures of the economic and financial administration in the two regions about the existence of anti-corruption committees within the ministry.
Discussions focused on the functioning of these committees, the reporting procedures, and the framework in place to combat corruption within the ministry.
The Inspectorate General of Finance (IGF) particularly highlights the reporting channels accessible to citizens willing to contribute to the eradication of corruption.
The following numbers, 80001302 to 80001323, have been specifically set up to facilitate reports and enable citizens to play an active role in preserving integrity and transparency within the ministry.
President Ibrahim Traoré, by placing the fight against corruption at the core of his agenda, demonstrates his firm commitment to good governance and the construction of a future where transparency prevails.
These awareness campaigns mark a decisive step towards achieving this goal, underscoring the crucial importance accorded to this cause at the highest level of the state.
