Comissão Anti-Corrupção

Dili – New Comissão Anti-Corrupção Commissioner Adérito António Pinto Tilman has sworn in José A. Neves and Manuel Bucar as his two deputy commissioners for CAC’s second mandate period.
Deputy Commissioners Neves and Bucar re-assume responsibility for the directorates of Education & Research, and Prevention, respectively. These are the same positions they held under former commissioner Adérito Soares during the 2010-2014 first mandate.
The swearing-in ceremony at Delta Nova was attended by Vice Presidents of the National Parliament Adriano do Nascimento and Adérito Hugo, former President of the Republic and Nobel Peace Prize laureate José Ramos-Horta, former Prime Minister Mari Alkatiri, Prosecutor-General José Ximenes, and members of the government, NGO, religious and media communities as well as CAC staff.
Commissioner Tilman, making his first public address since being elected to the role by the National Parliament, drew attention to the professionalism and dedication of Deputy Commissioners Neves and Bucar, and the fight ahead for the country.
“They have served Timor-Leste with honesty and integrity in their academic lives, their professional lives and in the fight for independence,” said the Commissioner.
“CAC has always said that government alone cannot fight corruption. It requires awareness of the common good, the common country and an eye to the public interests by all Timorese citizens.
“The development of our country must not be accompanied by the development of corruption.”
During the second mandate, CAC will focus on capacity building and fortifying public awareness to enhance the integrity and professionalism of the public service and community.
The 2014-18 prevention plan will also be prioritized and implemented, which aims to tackle the issues of procurement, political will, the decentralization of government power and the customs directorate.
CAC will also continue to build institutional capacity by increasing its technical specialization in the areas of investigations and prevention. We are committed to having a good working relationship with our colleagues across government – particularly the Prosecutor-General’s Office, the media, and NGOs.
CAC will support all people’s effort to fortify knowledge and offer any means to say no to corruption in the public service and people’s daily lives – at home and in the work place.
We continue to reaffirm that alone, we cannot rid Timor-Leste of corruption. The public service, NGOs, media and all citizens must utilize its collective power to combat corruption. (*)

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. (*)
