The Law on Anti-Corruption clearly regulated measures for prevention of
corruption. However, the implementation of this Law is not effective. The coordination
between the prosecutor’s office and the State Inspection Authority at the central and
local level is very poor. Only a few minor cases of corruption reach the Court. Many
cases are solved using the disciplinary measures.
The Lao PDR has enough organizations involved in anti-corruption but coordination
is still not sufficient. Currently, many of the organizations duplicate or overlap their
work. Each organization is facing a limited budget and has very few staff to be able to
perform the necessary tasks involved with stamping out corruption.
Although the Law is a major step forward, there is still poor implementation of the
law. Fighting corruption is still complex and challenging and corruption remains
difficult to detect. Fighting corruption requires, first of all, determination and persistence
from the political leadership and participation from citizens. It is of great importance
that civil servants involved are educated in a moral and ethical code of conduct.
Therefore, to fight corruption successfully, the following conditions are necessary:
1. Political commitment: political leaders must not partake in corruption activities
and need to provide a good example to their future counterparts;
2. An effective anti-corruption strategy;
3. An efficient anti-corruption system: this includes a basic legal framework to
prevent and punish those involved in corrupt activities;
4. A rule on asset declaration for persons of power, duty and position must be in
place and must apply to such persons before and after they receive such position,
power, or duty;
5. Anti-corruption
