In addition to international NGOs, the Malagasy Miara Miainga party closely scrutinizes the management of the country, especially public finances.
Since the start of this electoral year, Hajo Andrianainarivelo’s Malagasy Miara-Miainga party has continued to denounce the various offenses perpetrated by the regime. For the sake of transparency and good governance, the party, according to him, has always promoted respect for the rule of law. In a press release published this Thursday, the MMM indicated that “ several recorded cases have demonstrated that Madagascar is deviating more and more towards a lawless state during this electoral year “. Transparency International Initiative Madagascar (TI-IM) recently raised the excessive use of financial resources during the electoral campaign. Illegal uses of public property and abuse of public power have also been noted in order to favor the former president.
Corruption in high places
« Bad governance of public funds can be consulted on the website of the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (ARMP). These cases relate to the award of public contracts and reveal suspicions of corruption in high places », Continues the press release with supporting figures. “ The rate of the amount of over-the-counter contracts on all public markets has exploded, going from an average of 3.24% per year between 2019 and 2022 to 28.15% in 2023 for an amount of 432,805 728,574 ariary (€91,680,000) “, we can read in this missive while continuing that “ the rate of the amount of International Restricted Tenders on all public markets has also exploded, going from 0.01% between 2019 and 2022 to 46.02%. This amount increased from 34,750,0004 Ariary (€7,360) to 707,610,117,591 Ariary (€149,890,000) in 2023 ».
Accomplices
The former minister’s party therefore invites everyone to act. “ These cases of mismanagement of public finances during the electoral year raise several questions because the Malagasy State is fully living in mismanagement. », Specifies the missive. A real awareness of society in general remains the best way to put an end to this situation. “ We call on Malagasy citizens, but especially civil servants and all our technical and financial partners not to be complicit in this mode of governance. “, concluded the communiqué of the Malagasy Miara-Miainga party.
