It is Mohamed Ould Bilal, appointed Thursday afternoon, a few hours after the resignation of the government of Ismael Cheikh Sidiya. This resignation of the first government of the Ghazouani era seems to be the first consequence of the parliamentary report handed over to the Mauritanian judiciary. The justice system received the report of the parliamentary investigation commission the same day. Judges will have to comb through all the information relating to the alleged misappropriation of national community property contained in the parliamentary commission’s report. Among the personalities heard were all former Prime Ministers and former members of the government and other senior public servants.
