Police to sign corruption-free pledge with MACC

July 19, 2017 Wednesday

KOTA KINABALU: Police force in the country is expected to make their Corruption-Free pledge with Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) next week.

“The pledge would be held at police headquarters in every state simultaneously on Monday.

“The pledging and signing will be led by Inspector-general of police (Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar) at Bukit Aman,”said state MACC director Datuk Sazali Salbi.

He was speaking after witnessing 130 staff of Sabah Farmers Organisation Authority (LPP) here yesterday declaring their pledge to be free from corruption.

LPP is the 53rd government agency in Sabah which became part of MACC’s initiative to encourage government servants to uphold integrity and avoid corruption at all costs.

Earlier in April, Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman had also led the state cabinet ministers and assistant ministers in making the same pledge.

Tawau Municipal Council had also recently become the first local authority to jump on the bandwagon.

“Fighting corruption is not an exclusive duty of MACC but should also be done by people as their own responsibility.

“It had been reported recently due to practices related to corruption and power abuse, some allocations from government never reach the people or security had been compromised among others,” he added.

Present was LPP state director Anita Misuari who also said the agency would also adopt no-gift policy to ensure the staff deliver their duty in professional and with integrity.
