Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>A five-day workshop, aimed at fostering anti-corruption and good governance practices in the customs department through the conduct of administrative investigations in French-speaking countries, kickstarted this morning, at the Integrated Customs Clearance Centre, in Plaine Magnien.<\/p>\n

The workshop, an initiative of the Mauritius Revenue Authority (MRA), is organised in collaboration with the World Customs Organisation (WCO) and the Programme anti-corruption et promotion de l\u2019inte\u0301grite\u0301 des douanes (A-CPI).<\/p>\n

The Minister of Finance, Economic Planning and Development, Dr Renganaden Padayachy; the Director General of MRA, Mr Sudhamo Lal; the Director of Customs MRA, Mr Vivekanand Ramburun; participants from Southern and Eastern African; the MRA personnel; and other personalities attended the opening ceremony.<\/p>\n

In his address, Minister Padayachy highlighted that the partnership with the WCO has been pivotal in assisting in the alignment of the Mauritian customs practices with international standards.<\/p>\n

The WCO, he affirmed, not only provided the customs department with valuable advice, expertise and resources, but also engaged actively in sensitising the staff into a culture of ethics.<\/p>\n

These, he pointed out, helped in the prevention of illicit activities and the promotion of integrity, which, according to him, are two crucial pillars of good governance and economic stability.<\/p>\n

Notwithstanding the external shocks, the authorities demonstrated their resilience and abided by the international norms to boost the country\u2019s economic growth, Dr Padayachy underlined.<\/p>\n

He further asserted that conformity to the good governance principles has favoured a conducive environment for businesses and the economic infrastructure.<\/p>\n

As a result, the Gini Coefficient has known a significant decline from 0.42 in 2015 to 0.304 in 2022, he indicated. The Finance Minister, moreover, outlined the significance of promoting a just and equitable workplace for all the employees.<\/p>\n

Such a practice, he stated, will boost the workers\u2019 productivity as well as the efficiency and innovativeness of the tasks performed. In addition, Dr Padayachy dwelt on how the administrative investigations will play a primordial role in ascertaining that the rule of law is respected.<\/p>\n

For his part, Mr Lal emphasised on the roles of the WCO and the customs department of the MRA in advancing the socioeconomic development of Mauritius.<\/p>\n

He also reiterated the imperativeness of values such as fairness, justice, honesty and transparency in fostering a business-friendly climate, and consequently, promoting the well-being of the Mauritian population.<\/p>\n
