Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The minister of Finance and Economic Affairs, Seedy Keita, claims the Gambia government has engaged the International Monetary Fund IMF with a view to identifying vulnerabilities to corruption.<\/b><\/p>\n

This is the latest revelations made by Gambia government in recent days, some of which by and large were widely applauded by the population.<\/p>\n

The latest of these revelations was made by the country\u2019s minister of Finance and Economic Affairs Seedy Keita.<\/p>\n

During an interview with West Coat Radio on Tuesday, the Finance Minister Keita said the government has engaged IMF with a view to unravelling corruption in the public sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have engaged the IMF to do a country diagnostic study that will identify vulnerabilities to corruption and mal governance and public expenditure improvement and that report has been finalized,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The financial expert claimed the authorities are working towards implementing such recommendations from IMF.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working very hard to implement the recommendation of that report and we will hope to check every Gambian on board in so doing,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He asserted that this move is part of government\u2019s reform agenda.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo reforms are a part and parcel of the new governance agenda and we look forward to the support of every Gambian to join us in the reform agenda,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

This comes against the backdrop of the recent travel ban declared by President Adama Barrow for government officials for the rest of the 2023 fiscal year, 2023. <\/b><\/p>\n

Highlighting the significance of the measure, the Finance Minister revealed that the travel ban is not only limited to core government institutions.<\/p>\n

The Barrow-led government is perceived to be doing very little in the fight against corruption as the Anti-Corruption Bill drags its feet in the National Assembly without any substantial progress on its enactment.<\/p>\n

Involving the International Monetary Fund, according to political commentators, is a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n
