The Corruption Prevention and Education
Division (CPED) is headed by a Director appointed by the
Commission, after consultation with the Prime Minister.
The Division has two operational branches namely: the
Systems Enhancement Branch and the Community Relations
Branch. Each Branch is under the responsibility of an
Assistant Director.
Systems Enhancement Branch
This branch examines the practices and procedures of
public bodies and makes recommendations on how corruption
opportunities can be eliminated or reduced. This is
done by way of assignments which critically review specific
work areas in the public sector. The branch also advises
public and private sector organizations, on request,
on ways and means to prevent corruption.
Community Relations Branch
This branch has the duty to educate the community about the dangers of
corruption and to develop and retain the support of the public in the
fight against corruption. The ultimate objective is two folds:
- make the population at large aware of the dangers
of corruption, encourage them to develop intolerance
towards it and prompt willingness to fight against
it; and
- raise public awareness of corruption issues, increase
public intolerance of corruption and persuade the
public to report acts of corruption.
