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.
