Bouteflika assails Algerian corruption

2010-02-24

Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika on Tuesday (February 23rd) voiced his determination to continue fighting against corruption. In a message marking the February 24th double anniversary of the General Union of Algerian Workers (UGTA) creation and the nationalization of hydrocarbons, Bouteflika said that to protect the national economy, the state "has set up legal frameworks and prevention mechanisms against parasitic practices and fraud".

The president, who has attended nearly all February 24th official celebrations since 1999, will boycott this year's events, Tout sur l'Algerie reported, to show his disapproval of public fund mismanagement and the recent scandals involving Sonatrach and other state-run companies.
