The higher authority for state control and the fight against corruption (ASCE-LC) made public on February 6, 2024 in Ouagadougou the general annual activity report (RAGA) 2022. From this report, it emerges of embezzlement financial commitments committed by public officials to the amount of 385,712,445 CFA francs in 2022. The embezzlements noted by the controllers are consecutive, among other things, to cash shortages, unjustified expenses and/or releases, undue collections of remuneration, fees of missions and fuel, non-payment of sums collected (demarcation of land, approval of land sketches, etc.). These financial losses will not go unpunished. And for good reason, the ASCE-LC recommends that the government take appropriate measures to ensure the full recovery of the sums diverted from public coffers by the unscrupulous agents referred to in the reports of the state control bodies. The ASCE-LC also searched the financial and accounting management of 21 ministries and institutions and covered the 2020 and 2021 budgetary years. The situation of financial losses caused by agents of the ministries and institutions refers to the total amount 16,496,401,536. NB : Personnel and current transfer expenses were not covered by the audits.
