The Anti-Corruption Cell of Citizen Rights Protection Council (CRPC) is dedicated to promoting integrity, transparency, accountability and ethical conduct in public life.
The Cell works to create awareness about corruption, encourage responsible reporting of suspected corrupt practices and guide citizens towards appropriate competent authorities and legally established anti-corruption mechanisms.
Key Areas of Work
- Awareness against corruption and bribery
- Promotion of transparency and accountability
- Awareness regarding ethical conduct in public administration
- Guidance regarding reporting of suspected corruption
- Awareness of lawful anti-corruption mechanisms
- Public awareness campaigns against bribery
- Documentation of information relating to alleged corrupt practices
- Promotion of responsible and evidence-based reporting
- Community awareness programmes on corruption prevention
Assistance to Citizens
Where appropriate, the Anti-Corruption Cell may:
- Listen to complaints concerning suspected corruption.
- Help citizens understand the nature of their grievance.
- Guide complainants towards the appropriate anti-corruption authority.
- Assist in organizing relevant documents and factual information.
- Provide general guidance on preparing a representation or complaint.
- Facilitate communication with the appropriate authority, where permitted.
- Promote awareness regarding protection of citizens who report wrongdoing through lawful channels.
Responsible Reporting
CRPC encourages citizens to report facts and evidence rather than unverified allegations.
A complaint should, wherever possible, contain relevant information such as dates, locations, persons involved, documents, communications and other available evidence.
What the Cell Does Not Do
The Anti-Corruption Cell does not conduct criminal investigations, conduct searches or seizures, arrest individuals, demand money from public officials or exercise the powers of government anti-corruption agencies.
Investigation and prosecution of corruption offences remain the responsibility of the competent law-enforcement and statutory authorities.
Our Objective
To promote a corruption-free society through awareness, transparency, accountability, responsible reporting and lawful institutional action.
