BCECO press release on the financial control mission of the IGF: a call to seek a compromise for transparent financial management
In a press release published on July 20, 2023, the General Management of BCECO (Bureau de Coordination et d’Execution des Projets) wanted to clarify its position regarding the financial control mission of the IGF (General Inspectorate of Finance). The BCECO, while expressing its regrets about the dissemination of erroneous information in the media, affirms that it does not oppose this mission and calls instead for the search for a compromise between the parties concerned.
The press release aims to dispel misunderstandings and tensions that may have arisen following the media coverage of this case. The BCECO stresses that it never intended to oppose the financial control of the IGF, but rather to find common ground so that this mission could be carried out in an efficient and transparent manner.
The Office emphasizes the importance of handling the affairs of the state in a responsible and professional manner, without exposing them publicly. It recognizes the importance of financial control to ensure sound management of public finances, but also stresses the need to maintain the confidentiality of sensitive and confidential information.
The BCECO thus calls on the heads of the two institutions to initiate discussions and find a compromise that will make it possible to reconcile the imperative of transparency with the preservation of the confidentiality necessary for the effective management of projects.
This position taken by BCECO demonstrates its desire to collaborate with the IGF in mutual respect for the roles and responsibilities of each of the parties. The press release is part of a search for alternative solutions, far from polemics and conflicts, to guarantee adequate and transparent financial management.
In conclusion, the BCECO sends a message of openness and appeasement, inviting the actors involved to favor dialogue and consultation. This desire to find a compromise shows the Bureau’s desire to promote transparent and accountable governance in the management of public finances
