Several billion CFA francs were embezzled in a deal to sell off administrative buildings in Mali. Public buildings have been fraudulently appraised and then sold at low prices to certain economic operators

The explanations of the Minister of Culture, Dramé Kadiatou Konaré, last week before the CNT shed light on the numerous embezzlement of public funds resulting from the sale of state real estate.
27 buildings sold off and then often leased to the State, which happens to be the seller. The selling prices of the public buildings concerned would be four times lower than the real value of these buildings.

The buildings most mentioned in these transactions are the former Ministry of Social Development, presumably sold for more than one billion four hundred million, the building housing the agency for the development and management of industrial areas, the buildings of the Bamako Regional Trade Directorate, the Directorate of Social Affairs, the Directorate of Employment, Labor and Social Security of Bamako.
