Dili – In his first address to Anti-Corruption Commission (CAC) staff, new Commissioner Dr. Adérito Antonio Pinto Tilman made clear the best way to prevent and fight corruption in Timor-Leste is to work together as a team.
CAC Senior Management officially introduced Commissioner Tilman to staff and investigators yesterday (24/7) afternoon.
Commissioner Tilman in his address said he was elected by the National Parliament to lead the Commission. He said his role is not to reform its structure, which has already been established, but to reinforce, enhance and try to resolve any institutional challenges together with CAC’s staff.
“I am here not to take apart the Commission. I come here to reinforce what the previous Commissioner has completed with the two deputy commissioners and other colleagues. There are good elements that we will maintain and few failures we need to mend. That is why, during my time here, I will continue to appoint the existing two deputy commissioners,” Commissioner Tilman said.
He further expressed confidence that Deputy Commissioners Jose A. Neves and Manuel Bucar, all CAC staff and investigators will work together during the four years of the second mandate to face any challenges in prevention and anti-corruption efforts in the future.
During the second mandate, from 2014-2018, CAC staff will be focused on raising and strengthening public awareness in order to build ethical integrity and professionalism in the public service and community. Commissioner Tilman has also indicated that his first priority will be to lobby the Government and Parliament to approve CAC’s organic law this year.
Commissioner Tilman also appeals to all staff not to divulge any confidential information circulated within the institution to the public. He asked investigators to remember that that law is their bible, therefore investigators must carry out their work in a proper, legal manner.
“We must unite to carry out duties carefully with confidentiality and integrity. If we are united, our institution will be strong and other people and organizations will respect us externally.
“We should not defer to politicians. They can make political statements through the media, but we should not respond politically – instead we should respond sensibly as investigators,” said the Commissioner.
Commissioner Tilman also said all state institutions that have related anti-corruption duties need to work together in cooperation. Preventing and combating corruption right across the world is a huge job, and one that one institution alone cannot do.
“All institutions must work together. We cannot say that one institution alone can prevent and fight corruption in this country. We need to improve ourselves to face the challenges of the future,” Commissioner Tilman said.
The first steps in CAC’s program will be to re-appoint the two deputy commissioners on 30 July at Delta Nova, followed by a request to the Prosecutor-General to resume CAC’s investigative powers that have been on hold since start of this year. (*)

Parliament Elects Adérito Tilman As Next CAC Commissioner
Dili – The Anti-Corruption Commission (CAC) is pleased to announce the National Parliament has elected Adérito António Pinto Tilman as its next Commissioner.
Mr. Adérito Tilman was elected 44 votes in favour, the required absolute majority, by the National Parliament on Tuesday (15/7) afternoon, for a four-year term.
As it heads into its second mandate (2014-17), CAC is focused on raising and strengthening public awareness in order to build ethical integrity and professionalism in the public service and community.
In addition, we will also continue to raise the organizational capacity of CAC by increasing our technical specialization in investigation and prevention. We are also committed to working in good faith with Prosecutor General’s Office, other government and civil society partners and the media to develop efficient working relationships.
As a former judge and prosecutor, Mr. Tilman is the ideal person to take the Commission forward to meet these strategic goals and continue its important fight against corruption.
Mr. Tilman was born on 9 December 1973 in Bobonaro. He graduated with a law degree from the Diponegoro (UNDIP) State University in Semarang, Indonesia, in 1999.
In 2000, he was appointed by former UNTAET Administrator, the late Sergio Vieira de Mello, as a judge of the Dili District Court, serving for nearly six years. Following this, in 2006-2011, he was appointed as the Chief Prosecutor for the Dili District, before relocating to the Baucau District to serve in the same role. While working in Dili, Mr Tilman lectured in law at the Dili University (UNDIL) and UNPAZ, and acted as a member of the Board of PNTL Assessment.
He also completed training in 2004 as a judicial magistrate at the Judiciary Training Centre in Lisbon, Portugal, and in 2005 carried out further judiciary training in Dili.
Mr. Tilman has participated in many overseas conferences on topics relevant to CAC’s core work – including money laundering, financial criminal investigative methods, criminal corruption and public procurement.
Mr. Tilman was sworn in to his new role late on Tuesday afternoon by the President of National Parliament, Mr. Vicenti Guterres. A decision on Mr Tilman’s deputy commissioners will be forthcoming.
CAC senior management will be meeting with its new Commissioner over the next few days to brief him on CAC’s activities and immediate priorities.
CAC staff once again thanks former commissioner Adérito de Jesus Soares for his leadership through its first mandate, and wishes him all the best as he continues his PhD studies at the Australia National University in Canberra. (*)
