Hon Deputy Speaker, the answer to the first part of the question is that there is a Public Service Anticorruption Strategy that provides a mechanism for fighting corruption in the Public Service, which was approved by Cabinet in 2002. The strategy encourages an integrated and coherent approach in the fight against corruption with elements of prevention, detection and combating.
The strategy contains nine considerations, which are: review and consolidation of the legislative framework; increased institutional capacity; improved access to reporting wrongdoing and protection of whistle- blowers and witnesses; the prohibition of corrupt individuals and businesses; improved management policies and practices; managing professional ethics; partnerships with stakeholders; social analysis research and policy advocacy; and awareness training and education.
With regard to the implementation, the answer is yes. The process of implementation across the spectrum has actually commenced. I want to stress that this is actually so in all three key sectors that are party to the development of the strategy, which are the government, business and civil society. Thank you very much.
