Mali’s Office of the Auditor General (OAG) has uncovered significant financial irregularities within the Universal Access Fund Management Agency (AGEFAU) in a newly released report covering 2020 to 2023.

The report accuses former Prime Minister Choguel Maïga of mismanagement and unauthorized expenditures, drawing attention to the misuse of public funds under his administration. The revelations come at a time of heightened political tensions in Mali, further complicating the nation’s transitional process.

While the full details of the report have yet to be made public, the findings have sparked widespread debate, with calls for accountability from civil society and opposition groups. This development could have far-reaching implications for Mali’s governance and political landscape.

Observers are now waiting to see whether formal investigations or legal actions will follow the OAG’s damning findings.
