South Africa: Public service anti-corruption bureau
Contained in the Public Administration Management Bill published for comment on 31 May was a proposal for an Anti-Corruption Bureau. The bureau, which would tackle public sector corruption, has the backing of public service and administration minister Lindiwe Sisulu, whose department hopes to appoint a high-profile person to head the unit. Sisulu said the proposed bureau was modelled on Tanzania’s Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau, noting that her department’s existing anti-corruption unit suffered from a lack of capacity and legal authority.
