OUR RECOMMENDATIONS 1.

Reforms in the political arena to reduce monetisation of politics and eliminate opportunities for state capture which results in grand corruption

2.

Continue to strengthen law enforcement institutions especially the MACC, Judiciary and Police. Their complete independence must be established to secure the public’s trust

3.

Uphold the rule of law without fear or favour so that abs especially “big fish” cases do not have impunity from prosecution

4.

Overhaul the Official Secrets Act (OSA) and introduce a federal Freedom of Information (FOI) Act

5.

Firm and consistent actions in upholding transparency and ability in public procurement

6.

Tackle systemic corruption by focusing on specific sectors through the involvement of all stakeholders. For example, a coalition involving CIDB, contractors, professional bodies and other regulators in the construction industry could be established to drive the initiative to reduce corruption

7.

Further improve whistleblower legislation to provide wider protection to whistle blowers and encourage more whistle blowing
