Government report highlights corruption in Mauritania
The General Inspection of the State in Mauritania confirmed the detection of financial irregularities amounting to 2.3 billion Ouguiyas (6 million dollars) during inspections of various government sectors over the past two years. It has referred four cases to the judiciary and taken disciplinary measures against 34 officials, including dismissals, transfers, and warnings. The report highlighted that public procurement accounts for 60% of the irregularities, alongside corruption in hiring processes within government institutions, and violations in the Ministry of Health related to manipulations in drug purchases and non-effective maintenance of medical equipment. The report also indicated that government projects are often only on paper, with some buildings deteriorating due to failure to meet standards. The President emphasized the importance of combating corruption collectively, reaffirming that his institutions are independent and that only the judiciary has the authority to issue rulings.
