Boosting Transparency: Mauritania’s Anti-Corruption Efforts

Mauritania’s Supreme National Anti-Corruption Authority has taken a significant step towards ‌enhancing transparency by introducing digitization to manage and ⁤follow up on assets declared by government officials.

This decision was made during a meeting chaired by ​Prime Minister Mokhtar Ould Ajay, with the ministerial committee responsible for implementing the national anti-corruption ⁢strategy. The ‍meeting, held on Thursday, also witnessed the restructuring of the committee.

According ‌to the Minister ⁤of Economy and Finance, Sid⁣ Ahmed Ould Abouh, the committee has decided to “accelerate the necessary measures to study the draft anti-corruption law.”⁣ This move‌ aims to strengthen the country’s anti-corruption framework and promote good governance.

The meeting also addressed the periodicity of the committee’s⁤ meetings, aligning with the decree⁤ that regulates its work. This ensures that⁢ the‌ committee remains proactive in its efforts to combat corruption.

In a related development, the Inspector General of the ​State, Sayed Mohamed⁢ Ould Bida, emphasized the committee’s request to amend the decree relating to the Inspector General of the State. This amendment⁣ will enable⁣ the preparation and publication of an annual report on the Inspector General’s activity, ⁢thereby enhancing transparency and accountability.
