Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions Fails to Provide Outcome of Corruption Cases
In a shocking revelation, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions has failed to provide information on the outcome of corruption cases over the past five years. According to reports, the office has been unable to maintain records of the number of cases before courts in relation to acts of corruption.
Lack of Transparency and Accountability
The lack of transparency and accountability is a major concern for anti-corruption advocates, who argue that it hinders efforts to identify challenges and recommend corrective measures. This lack of transparency makes it difficult to track progress and measure the effectiveness of anti-corruption initiatives.
Integrity Commission Lacking Leadership
Furthermore, the Integrity Commission has been without a Chairman for over a year, which has hindered its ability to review recommendations and implement them. This leadership vacuum has further exacerbated the problem of lack of transparency and accountability.
International Recommendations
In light of these findings, international bodies have called on the government to take immediate action to address the issue. Some recommendations include:
- Providing detailed statistics on instruction given to public officers to ensure proper understanding of their responsibilities
- Establishing mandatory training programs for public officers on ethical rules governing their activities
- Ensuring that public officers are informed of the risks of corruption inherent in their duties
- Compiling records of inquiries by public officers on the proper performance of their duties answered
