ACC Launches New Guideline to Manage Conflict of Interest in Government Offices

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) unveiled a new guideline on Tuesday aimed at helping government offices and state-owned companies manage conflicts of interest. The guideline, launched during a ceremony commemorating International Anti-Corruption Day 2025, outlines policies for identifying and addressing potential conflicts. The initiative is designed to ensure impartial decision-making and maintain public trust. The guideline provides detailed recommendations for developing internal rules applicable to all employees and encourages private sector entities to adopt similar standards. Key objectives include developing national anti-corruption policies, defining actions for agencies, and promoting a culture of integrity. The ACC emphasized the importance of robust management frameworks and clear policies to safeguard accountability. This move comes amid public criticism of the ACC's delayed investigations into corruption cases during previous administrations.
