The Ministry of the Interior and Territorial Communities (MICT) informs that it has received multiple denunciations from public institutions and individuals, relating to illegal dispossession of private property and the private domain of the State.

The Ministry is all the more concerned by these complaints which also relate to the illegal appropriation by ill-intentioned individuals of various materials belonging to State Institutions and especially the fact that Interim Agents are indexed in some of the complaints reported.

Therefore, the MICT a Notice sent last week to the Interim Executive Agents (AEI) in office reminding them that they are no longer privileged managers of land assets in the private domain of the State. As this management is the prerogative of the Directorate General of Taxes (DGI), the AEIs only have the prerogative to ensure the proper functioning of the process of managing these assets.

In addition, the Ministry takes the opportunity to request from its agents and representatives of the Executive that are the Delegates, Vice-Delegates, as well as the various Associations of local elected officials (Mayors, Casec, Asec, City Delegates), the greatest vigilance in the face of these bad practices. They are also invited to report to the Ministry, all suspicious or flagrant cases, so that administrative decisions as of right are taken against the culprits and in particular Agents who would have been complicit or guilty of such misdeeds.

Similarly, the Ministry of the Interior and Local Authorities asks victims to file formal complaints before the trial court concerned and to notify the Departmental Delegation or the Vice-Delegation of the district in question.

Finally, the Ministry of the Interior and Territorial Communities, in this opinion, indicated that such excesses will in no case be tolerated. It encourages the Interim Executive Agents to preserve their integrity, to protect and defend as well as possible, the interests of the population that expects them, fair practices and sound administration.
