Following initial suspicions of embezzlement, our partner has published a new investigation that describes a town hall where scandals now seem to amount to hundreds of millions, even billions, of CFA francs. Nearly one billion CFA francs worth of fuel consumed in two years, 160 million francs disbursed in a single day without supporting documentation, nepotism in hiring, parallel management structures, social subsidies that disappear before reaching their intended recipients, not to mention the incredible case of the "disguised grader": a machine presented as new but which, according to the investigation, was in reality just a repainted used machine. How could such an accumulation of anomalies have developed within the second largest port city in Ivory Coast? Fabrice Wuimo explores this with Taki Bouanzi, investigative journalist and founder of Enquête Média.
