Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi ratified on Sunday a decree allowing the country to join the African Union (AU) Convention on Combating and Preventing Corruption.
The convention, signed in 2003 between AU member states in Mozambique, was approved by the Egyptian parliament in 2017.
The AU Convention targets promoting, facilitating and regulating cooperation among AU countries to ensure the effectiveness of measures and actions to prevent, detect, punish and eradicate corruption and related offences in the country, according to its 2003 text.
