Preventing and fighting corruption is an essential national priority for achieving solid and inclusive development, said, Tuesday in Rabat, chairman of the National Authority for Probity, Prevention and the Fight against Corruption (INPPLC), Mohamed Bachir Rachdi.
In a presentation before the public finance control committee at the House of Representatives on the INPPLC’s report for 2022, Rachdi noted that achieving the expected development objectives requires “a change of approach to ensure effective institutional complementarity through convergence and articulation of the roles and responsibilities of the authorities, bodies and institutions concerned”.
Referring to the historical mission and responsibility of the INPPLC within the framework of the national anti-corruption strategy, Rachdi called for the strengthening of the body’s role as a force for proposals and guidance, in addition to the development of mechanisms and institutional frameworks guaranteeing positive and practical interaction with its
recommendations.
He underlined that this annual report develops a diagnosis and a meticulous, objective assessment of the policies pursued, deepens the examination and analysis of priority projects, and draws up guidelines and recommendations within the framework of a global, harmonious and ambitious vision.
In order to identify the various aspects of the scourge of corruption, the INPPLC, he added, is focusing the efforts of the observatory created within the body by law, on the ongoing development of diagnostic mechanisms, field research and analysis to strengthen accurate and objective knowledge of the various aspects of this phenomenon with a view to achieving appropriate policies and procedures, the aim being to prevent and combat corruption but also to propose alternatives as part of the guidance and coordination missions incumbent on it under the Constitution.

The following is a statement issued by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon:
“Our honorable people:
The ‘Israeli’ enemy continues to search for alternatives to collect information about the resistance and the whereabouts of its fighters in the villages of the South, especially after losing a large part of the effectiveness of the espionage and spying devices installed in its border sites after being targeted and destroyed by the resistance.
In this context, the ‘Israeli’ enemy resorts to contacting some of our esteemed families from phone numbers that appear to be Lebanese, via both landline and cellular networks, with the aim of inquiring the whereabouts and the status of some houses.
In these communications, the enemy impersonates multiple characters: Police stations belonging to the Internal Security Forces in the southern regions, centers for Lebanese General Security and in other times impersonating relief agencies that provide aid and other things.
The caller, who speaks with a sound Lebanese accent,
seeks to obtain information about the caller’s family members and their whereabouts or various data related to the surroundings, under the guise of showing concern and seeking to provide assistance.
The enemy exploits this information to confirm the presence of the fighter brothers in some of the homes it intends to target.
We call on our dear people in general, especially the people of the front villages, not to respond to the caller in any question related to the surroundings and the movement of individuals in it, and to take the initiative to cut off the call immediately, and then rush to inform the concerned authorities without any delay.”
