Anti-corruption strategy should be reinforced by a committed leadership and
able management skills to implement the programs and sustain the progress made.
Continued reengineering of the bureaucracy is necessary, with reforms focused not only
on achieving efficiency and effectiveness, but also instilling a culture of rules in the
system. Moral and political pressure to
outlaw corruption is important. This could be
created if the public is properly educated on the social and political costs of corruption and
institutions that would provide checks and
balance are strengthened and given the
freedom to challenge the government to demand
greater transparency and accountability.
