The Committee on the Mobilization of Anti-Corruption Strategy in the Public Sector held its meeting on May 11 and approved seven anti-corruption measures. The first measure seeks to launch an awareness-raising campaign against corruption. In the second measure, anti-corruption networks will be created in all risk areas. The third measure seeks to create mechanisms to receive complaints and deal with them with greater efficiency to ease the people’s hardships. The fourth one calls for a study of malpractices, which will lead to a reform of working procedures in the public sector. The fifth measure seeks to upgrade various agencies to the ISO standard. In the sixth measure, a mechanism will be established to help protect investors and foreign entrepreneurs from corruption conducted by state officials. The seventh measure involves working in an integrated manner to prevent corruption in national budget spending. The meeting also assigned the Office of the National Counter Corruption Commission to set up seven subcommittees to implement these measures. The present government has set anti-corruption as an urgent policy to be implemented in the first year of its administration. In its policy statement presented to the National Assembly, the Government said it would prevent and fight corruption in the public sector by adhering to transparency and good governance, which are universally accepted norms. It will amend laws with a view to preventing and fighting corruption and will broaden the enforcement of legislation regarding the prohibition of conflicts of interest to include persons who abuse power arising from their important and high positions, without exception. The Government will also foster moral consciousness and values of society which uphold integrity and justice. |
