| Notes |
The centre piece of the Government's anti- corruption strategy is the INSPECTORATE OF GOVERNMENT which it established in 1986. When this institution was established it was given the responsibility of protecting and promoting human rights, elimination and fostering the elimination of corruption and abuse of public office and promoting and ensuring adherence to the rule of law and justice in administration. Following the adoption of a new national constitution in 1995 the responsibility for human rights was removed from Inspectorate of Government and given to a new human rights body. However, the Inspectorate of Government was given more extensive powers of investigation, arrest and prosecution in its responsibility of combating corruption and abuse of office. It was also given a new responsibility of enforcing the Leadership Code of Conduct which is not unrelated to its central task of combating corruption.
