Guinea’s CRIEF investigates 350 public television recruitments
By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Mosaiqueguinee
The special prosecutor of the Court for the Repression of Economic and Financial Offences has ordered a preliminary investigation into the integration of 350 Radio-Télévision Guinéenne employees into the public service. The report alleges administrative and financial irregularities, suspected corruption and discrimination, according to correspondence cited by Mosaiqueguinee.
The Court for the Repression of Economic and Financial Offences (CRIEF) has requested the opening of a preliminary investigation into the allocation of 350 positions reserved for Radio-Télévision Guinéenne (RTG) employees in the public service. In a letter dated 2 November 2026, the special prosecutor tasked the National Agency for the Fight Against Corruption and the Promotion of Good Governance (ANLC-PBG) with investigating, following a report by the Collective of Former RTG Trainees (CAS-RTG), according to the Guinean media outlet Mosaiqueguinee.
The quota concerned employees with at least five years of training or effective service at RTG. The collective, represented by Soriba Soumah, claims that candidates who met the criteria were excluded in favour of people who did not. It also denounces the recent regularisation of ten trainees under conditions it considers opaque. These allegations remain to be verified.
The investigation is to examine in particular the conditions governing the allocation and distribution of the positions, as well as the census and biometric enrolment operations organised on 14 August 2024. The special prosecutor considers that, if established, the facts could constitute corruption, favouritism, embezzlement of public funds or forgery and the use of forged documents.
The request for an investigation follows the opening, on 2 November, of another CRIEF investigation targeting four officials from a Guinean fund for young people. The court has been headed since 28 October by magistrate Mamadou Saliou Diakité, who was appointed to lead it in an article published by our editorial team.
