Mali’s transitional president, General of the Army Assimi Goïta, received the 2021 and 2024 annual reports of the Central Office for the Fight against Illicit Enrichment (OCLEI) in Bamako on Thursday. They were presented by its president, Modibo Sacko. The 2024 report states that 13 of the 48 cases examined by the Office were referred to the courts, according to Bamada.net.
The OCLEI also carried out 21 prevention activities in 2024, attended by 2,025 people, including 761 women. In 2021, the Office checked 968 asset declarations and referred 12 cases to the courts. Modibo Sacko highlighted difficulties in accessing land information, the limited implementation of recommendations and the institution’s lack of premises.
Assimi Goïta called for the reports to be used to assess public action and reaffirmed the authorities’ commitment to fighting corruption, illicit enrichment and impunity, according to Bamada.net.
The reports were presented after several initiatives announced by the Malian authorities, including the Malian Transition Support Fund, to which a motorcycle taxi driver contributed 100,000 CFA francs on 21 October.
