HAVANA (AFP) - The Cuban government will deploy an army of auditors across the island nation Monday to track down corruption pervading the Communist society, from lowly street milk vendors to officials in powerful government agencies. For a month, thousands of finance inspectors will descend on some 750 businesses for surprise checkups. Everyone is on edge about it, because you never know when an inspector will come knocking on your door, an official with a state company, who declined to be named, told AFP. The problem is, if they search well, they will find (irregularities). The death this week of Chilean contractor Roberto Baudrand, accused of undertaking shady business practices with state officials, and whose body was found in Havana under suspicious circumstances, has further raised anxieties about the mass audit. On Friday, President Raul Castro swore in a new attorney general, Dario Delgado, who faces what his office says has been an increase in corruption cases over the past year and a half. Rooted in decades of state control over the economy, corruption has become a pressing concern for the government because of its potential impact on the islands stability during a period of political transition. Corruption is more dangerous than what is called internal dissidence, said political analyst Esteban Morales. He said the problem has been gaining ground at all levels of local and national government, emerging as a veritable anti-revolution that could un-do years of communist rule. In the last two years, notably after revolutionary leader Fidel Castro handed over power to his younger brother Raul, graft has been on the rise with increased participation of (government) leaders and officials, according to attorney Caridad Sabo. There are people working for the government and state who are building a financial cushion for the day when the revolution collapses, and others are readying to transfer state assets into private hands, like what happened in the former Soviet Union, added Morales. He was referring to the vast privatizations of state assets in the wake of the collapse of the USSR in early 1990s, which created mammoth fortunes for a handful of Russians, who became known as the oligarchs. Since assuming the presidency from the ailing Fidel, Raul Castro has launched a crusade against theft from state companies that supplies a vast and lucrative black market. Millions of gallons of fuel and other commodities such as milk, chicken, rice, sugar or coffee are sold on the black market, where Cubans can get goods that cannot be found in the legal economy or buy them at cheaper prices. Without a strong social stigma and systematic moves against the various forms of corruption, many (people) will continue to profit at the expense of the majority, Castro said earlier this month, denouncing graft as contrary to the essence of socialism.
