Dili – The Anti-Corruption Commission (CAC) today held a half-day seminar to community leaders and students in Becora. The seminar was attended by more than 60 people where Director of Education and Research was the principal speaker.

The seminar is part of CAC’s program to disseminate information to community leaders and student under the topic, “Honesty is the key to help us avoid corruption” by preventing corrupt practices.

The objective of today’s seminar in Becora was to explain to people what CAC’s mission and vision comprises. Community leaders, who work closely with people in grassroots campaigns, and students as the future leaders of Timor-Leste, need the knowledge to recognize what an independent institution like CAC can do to prevent and fight corruption.

“One of CAC’s responsibilities is to come together with the people of this country to build a barrier that prevents and fights corruption in Timor-Leste. CAC stands together with the community, other relevant institutions, civil society, media and students to fight a common public enemy: corruption,” said Director.

The seminar finished with a questions and answers session where community leaders and students came up with their own constructive criticisms of CAC, to assist in further developing the institution.

Throughout the year, CAC will continue to hold seminars with the country’s future leaders to provide them with the knowledge and tools to fight corruption.  (*)

Dili — Deputy Commissioner Jose “Samala-Rua” Neves today led a team in discussions with the Commission A of the National Parliament, regarding the amendment proposal originating from the government benches.

Deputy Commissioner Neves was accompanied by Deputy Commissioner Manuel Bucar Corte Real, senior advisers Leonor Furtado and Rui Manuel Oliva and othter staff.

The President of Commission A Carmelita Moniz, who presided over the discussion said it was part of a consultation process between the CAC, Prosecutor-General and the Ministry of Justice regarding a proposal to amend Article 12 of the CAC’s organic law, to harmonize responsibilities between CAC and the Prosecutor-General’s Office.

Deputy Commissioner José Neves explained that under the current law, Article 12 gives power to the Anti-Corruption Commissioner to appoint up to three deputy commissioners. Under the proposal from the government benches, the CAC Commissioner would have the power to nominate two deputy commissioners, however the third deputy commissioner would have to be indicated by the Prosecutor-General’s Office.

“Under this proposal, it would be mandatory for a CAC deputy commissioner to be indicated by the Prosecutor-General, meaning that the independent nature of CAC and competency of its Commissioner would be undermined given their power to make appointments has been weakened,” Deputy Commissioner Neves said.

Raising constructive criticism of CAC’s investigations functions, members of the National Parliament encouraged CAC to consider these as challenges and continue the work and dedication it has shown to date to prevent and fight corruption for the people of Timor-Leste.

“CAC holds an important role in this country and, with the responsibility that Parliament has placed on your shoulders, can really make a difference to this country and its people,” said Natalino dos Santos.

Commission A of the National Parliament will continue to consult about amendements to Article 12 with other relevant state institutions like Ministry of Public, Ministry of Justice and other entities before bring it to the plenary for a vote. (*)
