Madagascar’s National Police organised an internal anti-corruption awareness workshop on 9 November 2026 at the National Higher Police School in Mamory Ivato, under the direction of Simon Rakotomalala, director of internal investigations at the Ministry of Public Security, and Maurice Joël Rabearivony, director in charge of the anti-corruption service, reports Midi Madagasikara.
For this first session, police officers from the criminal investigations and economic offences units were targeted, as these units are considered particularly exposed to corruption risks. The officials stressed professionalism and respect for the law as means of strengthening public trust, according to Midi Madagasikara.
The awareness campaign is to be gradually extended to other National Police services in order to embed the fight against corruption in internal practices. The initiative follows decisions taken at the National Police conference, reports Midi Madagasikara.
