The African Development Bank Group today announces the 20 months debarment of IYA S.A.R.L. with conditional release, requiring the company to complete an integrity compliance program. IYA S.A.R.L. is a construction company registered in the Republic of Mali.
An investigation conducted by the Office of Integrity and Anti-Corruption of the African Development Bank Group established that, in the context of the tender for the construction of electricity infrastructure under the Guinea-Mali Electricity Interconnection Project ("the PIEGM Project"), IYA S.A.R.L. committed a Fraudulent Practice.
The PIEGM Project is designed to contribute to the reinforcement of electrical energy exchanges between the countries of the West African sub-region and in particular, between Guinea and Mali, and to promote the socio-economic development of both countries through increased access of the population to high-quality, low-cost electricity.
During the debarment period, IYA S.A.R.L. and its affiliates will not be eligible to participate in Bank Group-financed activities.
At the expiry of the debarment period, IYA S.A.R.L. will only be eligible to resume participation in African Development Bank Group-financed activities upon evidence of satisfactory completion of an integrity compliance program consistent with the Bank's guidelines.
