Algerians are sceptical of accountability
2005-05-19
They're also skeptical of their next meal.
ALGIERS — Algerians are expressing scepticism over the ability of the government to hold senior public sector officials accountable for their properties and to 'come clean' on the 'dubious possession' of wealth and properties.
"No, no. That'll never work."
The issue is now a hot topic of discussion at both public and private places in the country in the light of the increasing number of scandals that are being exposed by the media. The legal committee of the Algerian parliament (Lower House) last week summoned the Justice Minister, Tayeb Belaiz, to answer questions related to the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Bill, which was passed early this year by the government.
