ANTIC, CONSUPE focus on control of public finances

The two institutions signed a partnership agreement Wednesday to better manage information systems in public administrations.

The national agency of Information and Communication Technologies (ANTIC) conducted security audits within the State structures a few months ago.

According the results of these studies, it appears that many Governments use pirated software, which causes a real handicap in control of public information systems. Aware of the situation, the Prime Minister, head of Government, instructed the authentic software purchased from publishers.

To carry out its mission, the superior control of the State (CONSUPE) requested the support of the ANTIC. The two institutions signed Wednesday, a convention of partnership whose main objective is to ensure the authenticity of the software used in public administrations.

For the Minister Henri Eyebe Ayissi, who signed documents for CONSUPE, the partnership will allow them have more visibility on the conformity of laws and regulations, the reliability of information handled, the security of the stored data, financial data including implementation and optimization of operations.

The Director General of ANTIC, Ebot Ebot Enaw, for his part, reassured on the fact that its structure would spare no effort to achieve the objective set out in the convention.

This partnership agreement signing ceremony was held at the Hotel Hilton in Yaounde in the presence of the Minister of public service and administrative reform, Michel Ange Angouin and the Minister of Mines, industry and technological, Emmanuel Bonde.
