Bridges Between Us

• Implementing mandatory, but confidential, annual reporting by government officials of all income and assets acquirement and their sources. The completeness and accuracy of reported information should be adequately verified for at least a small random selection of the reports. 

• Implement public complaint systems, operationalize, independent or semi-independent complaint review bodies, and ensure following of clear, fair, and standardized criteria, policies, and processes that identify and correct corrupt actions of government officials but also protect them against inappropriate accusations and incorrect or unfair corrective actions. Establish greater transparency regarding these processes and make summarized resultant information available to all.

• Implement appropriate corrective measures – such as warnings, reprimands, suspensions, demotions, and firing for government officials violating policies.    

• Form and authorize a committee comprised of respected government, academia, and non-profit sectors that will bi-annually assess anti-corruption measures’ effectiveness and provide specific recommendations for any needed corrections.
