financial inspections at the Olympic Committee
Following the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the Malian National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSM) is subject to a financial inspection to audit funds granted by the State following a litany of scandals. Given the scale, the Office of the Auditor General also took charge of the matter.
Habib Sissoko, president of the CNOSM.
Returning empty-handed to Mali from the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the CNOSM has since been immersed in financial affairs, particularly linked to the funds released by the State for the Olympic Games. Officially, the sum was 368 million CFA francs, but the Olympic Committee explains that it only received 93,921,633 CFA francs, a difference of more than 274 million…
Faced with this imbroglio, the Minister of Sports, Adoul Kassim Fomba, requested an audit from the Finance Directorate and also refused to receive a hearing from the president of the CNOSM, the totemic Habib Sissoko, in office for more than 24 years and re-elected without opponent – but not without tension – this summer.

Another inspection coming up?
Revealed by the Malian press, this affair also attracted the attention of the Auditor General of Mali, Samba Alhamadou Baby, who took up the case himself. For almost two weeks, his team got to work and questioned Habib Sissoko about the origin of each of the grants received by his committee (and their use).
According to information from Sport News Africa, the Economic Pole is also preparing to carry out its own inspection on the basis of a complaint filed by Sidy Bagayoko, the president of the Malian Cycling Federation, and declared opponent of Sissoko.
