The World Day against Corruption and Corruption reminds us that corruption in Cyprus is alive and well and the Government has not taken effective measures to combat the phenomenon, says the Movement of Ecologists - Citizens' Co-operation.[/B]
On the occasion of tomorrow, it notes that from the "golden passport" policy to the spy van case to the environment policy to the Akamas, it is obvious that the state machine is "messing up" everywhere.
"The establishment of an independent anti-corruption authority may be an important step, but we cannot talk about an effective anti-corruption authority when the prosecution of cases is not done by the authority itself. At the same time, it is really a wonder how the Anti-Corruption Authority can function properly and carry out its work in a meritocratic manner when the impartiality and moral leadership of its own members is questioned.
As the Movement of Ecologists - Citizens' Co-operation, we have set as our main objective the fight against corruption and corruption in all its manifestations, since they are the main danger against the sustainable development of our society and a serious obstacle to the preservation of our natural environment and the fight against the consequences of climate change.
To achieve immediate results, the State should ensure the independence of institutions, strengthen corporate governance and public accountability, modernize and improve the clarity of legislation, encourage electronic transactions to reduce personal contact, and intensify compliance checks," he concludes.
