Amongst their duties will be to advise the President on effective implementation of the anti-corruption strategy by government and civil society, including the private sector and measures to curb a recurrence of State Capture and to prevent fraud and corruption in the country.
The newly established body will also give inputs on governments response to the recommendations of the Judicial inquiry into allegations of State Capture. An interdepartmental team led by the Presidency is currently developing government’s response, which President Ramaphosa will present to Parliament in two months time.
The synchronised work of all the law enforcement agencies is hitting criminals where it hurts most: in their pockets. Public funds that were looted and diverted are being recovered and those responsible for these acts are being prosecuted by our courts.https://t.co/rGmO39CHsQ pic.twitter.com/zKlwLVNZF3
