Mauritania's Anti-Corruption Authority Receives Property Disclosure Files

The National Anti-Corruption Authority in Mauritania received the files on property disclosures and interests in a ceremony at the Supreme Court in Nouakchott on Tuesday. The transfer was made in accordance with the completion of procedures to transfer files and documents related to property and interest disclosures from the Financial Transparency Committee for Public Life to the National Anti-Corruption Authority.

The files were handed over by the President of the Supreme Court and Chairman of the Financial Transparency Committee for Public Life, Sheikh Ahmed Sidi Ahmed, to the President of the National Anti-Corruption Authority, Jamal Al-Idaili. This move is in line with the implementation of Law No. 022-2025 on property disclosures and the transfer of related competencies to ensure continuity of tasks and strengthen the institutional framework responsible for monitoring disclosures.

The handover of the files is a significant step in completing the transfer of documents and data related to property and interest disclosures. It also aims to enhance institutional coordination and ensure continuity of procedures and tasks related to promoting transparency, integrity, and anti-corruption efforts, as well as protecting public funds.

The ceremony was attended by several officials, including the Secretary-General of the Anti-Corruption Authority, Yahya Jedou, the Secretary-General of the Supreme Court, Amadou Youssouf Gloul, and the Secretary of the Committee, Mustafa Ould Sidi Am. The move is part of the implementation of Law No. 023-2025, which established the National Anti-Corruption Authority on June 25, 2025.

The National Anti-Corruption Authority was established to oversee and implement anti-corruption measures in Mauritania. The authority's mandate includes monitoring and investigating corruption cases, promoting transparency, and protecting public funds. The transfer of property disclosure files is a crucial step in the authority's efforts to enhance transparency and accountability in public life.

The Financial Transparency Committee for Public Life had previously handled the collection and verification of property disclosures from public officials. With the transfer of files, the National Anti-Corruption Authority will now be responsible for monitoring and analyzing these disclosures to identify potential cases of corruption or illicit enrichment.

The handover of property disclosure files marks a significant milestone in Mauritania's efforts to strengthen its anti-corruption framework. The National Anti-Corruption Authority's receipt of these files will enable it to enhance its monitoring and investigative capabilities, ultimately contributing to a more transparent and accountable public sector.
