Burkinabe Head of State Ibrahim Traoré announced that transition efforts will focus on fighting corruption and administrative delays, which sometimes hamper government actions this year.

The fight against corruption is now firmly launched in Burkina Faso. According to Captain Ibrahim Traoré, severe measures will be taken against proven cases of corruption and nepotism in the public administration. The Head of State also expresses his dissatisfaction with certain practices in the public administration, in particular the tendency to systematically recruit firms for tasks falling within the competence and obligations of public administration officials. According to the Head of State, most of the firms recruited have links with actors in the administration, which leads to excessive remuneration. “It's a new start for the institution and the whole country,” he said.
