Le Matin:

Moderate Sunni Muslim religious leader Ahmed Abdallah Mohamed Sambi, popularly known as "the Ayatollah", was elected president last month in the first peaceful change of power since the country's independence from France in 1975.

Within three weeks of assuming office, his government has acted on claims of corruption around several former public officials, including ex-vice president Caabi El-Yachroutu Mohamed, who was a leading contender in the recent polls. Former departmental heads of public enterprises are also being investigated, said Nadhoim.

"The difference between the new government and the old one is that the former government spoke a lot and acted little, while the new one speaks little but acts," said Nadhoim, who holds the tourism and telecommunications portfolio in the Sambi administration.

Corruption has been a longstanding problem on the fractious archipelago. According to a US State Department report on human rights practices, the previous Comoran government had allegedly awarded contracts for constructing the airport and university to a local firm linked to the then president, Azali Assoumani.

As to why Azali, a former military leader, was not a target of investigation, Nadhoim said the list "doesn't aim at political personalities" but people directly responsible for the management of public funds. To streamline public spending, the new administration has shrunk the cabinet to eight ministers down from 13, reduced the number of advisors to the president from 40 to seven and announced a commitment to keep the size of official delegations small and limit official trips.
