President Ibrahim Traoré denounced the “thugs” who exploited the country’s humanitarian crisis for personal gain. He stated that the funds were meant to support internally displaced persons but were instead misappropriated by corrupt officials.
The government has initiated an investigation into the matter and has already made arrests of individuals involved in the embezzlement scheme.
President Traoré emphasized the government’s zero-tolerance policy towards corruption and pledged to hold accountable those responsible for the misuse of public funds.
