A key role in economy

According to Mamadou Sarr, the customs always will be a central administration in our economy and finances. If we consider the public side of the plan of actions that have priority in the Pse the financing is almost 41 %, of the budget.
These resources come partly from two services: the customs and the taxation service. We live in a context of working on the basis of questions such as transparency, ethics, fight against corruption, misappropriation of public funds.
The administration of the customs, the public Treasure, Tax service, economic enquiries, and civic administration are in the first position, more indexed or suspected because of the missions they ensure”, he said. Nevertheless, M. Sarr precises that « This does not mean that they are less virtuous than the others, but simply because they constitute an easier target for criticism, they manage public money in the economic circuits, and it is easy in such a framework that people unweight against them”. Isn’t also a way to warn customs’ inspectors and officers to be careful and remind them “to be vigilant” in order to succeed in ensured their missions.
