Chad: AILC Denounces Organized Obstruction of Anti-Corruption Efforts
The Controller General of the Anti-Corruption Agency (AILC), Ousmane Abdramane Djougourou, has revealed a maneuver orchestrated by the government aimed at neutralizing efforts to promote financial transparency. According to him, a banking secrecy ordinance, hastily drafted and ratified by the National Assembly, is now being used by financial institutions to block AILC investigators from accessing their records.Despite official requests, banks systematically invoke this legislation, creating what the Controller General describes as a “serious obstacle” to investigations. He points out that these financial institutions generate colossal revenues, estimated at nearly 87 billion CFA francs per year, yet have not contributed to the public treasury since 2024.
For Ousmane Abdramane Djougourou, this situation represents a deliberate obstruction of the fight against corruption, shielding certain financial actors and preventing scrutiny of how public funds are being used. “We are banned from financial institutions, and the executive branch prevents us from acting freely,” he concluded, denouncing a clear intent to deprive the AILC of its means of action.
