Besides the PCA, there was enactment of the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes
(Confiscation of Benefits) Act, CDSA in short, in 1999. The principle for the Act was to ensure that
corruption does not pay. It also covers the confiscation of benefits not only from corruption but also drug
offences and other serious crimes. The CDSA provides the Court with powers to confiscate pecuniary
resources and properties when a person is convicted of a corruption offence and cannot satisfactorily account
for those resources to be confiscated. The objective is to ensure that the perpetrators will not benefit from
corruption.
The Parliament has also enacted the Parliament (Privileges, Immunities and Powers) Act to ensure
that Members of Parliament will not benefit from a debate in the House in which he or she has a pecuniary
interest. It has also enacted The Political Donation Act to ensure candidates standing for political election
declare donations they received.
Other statutes regulating Government bodies have also incorporated provisions which deter corruption.
One such provision is in the Customs Act which specifically provides for penalties for receiving bribes, and
presumes any monies in the possession of a Customs Officer which cannot be accounted for to be corruptly
obtained.
