In our ongoing effort to fight corruption, we will create, by May 2002, a Corruption Prevention Bureau (CPB) under the Ministry of Justice, which will end the current agency fragmentation in this area. In defining the functions of this unit and providing sufficient resources to enable the fulfillment of its obligations, the government will follow the advice of the World Bank. To this end, a timetable will be adopted for establishing the bureau, including on the transfer of the SRS anticorruption unit into the bureau. We will also prepare and publish the terms of reference for, and expeditiously appoint, the CPB head. Finally, a survey of public opinion on corruption will be piloted and implemented.
