It is too early to say precisely what form the
Commission will take. Generally, it is proposed that the
Commission should comprise three main divisions:-
}
(i)
(ii)
(111)
An Operations Division, which
will be responsible for the
investigation and prosecution of
offences.
A Prevention and Adininistration
Division which will deal with the
prevention of corruption, principally by advice
or the adoption of procedures which
are likely to reduce the opportunities
for corruption.
A Community Relations Division, the task
of which will be to involve the public
in the fight against corruption through
education, and publicity and by
influencing public opinion.
The Ordinance under which the Commission will be
formally constituted will provide that the Commission shall
be subject to the control and direction of the Governor.
These measures should make it clear that the Commissioner
and his staff are intended to be free from the departmental
and inter-departmental pressures to which members of the
public service may be liable and are in fact independent of
the Government, though subject to the control of the Governor.
In this way we wish to demonstrate yet again, that the
Government means to tackle corruption relentlessly.
