Endorsed by 168 votes, the proposals say that the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) and the Civil Service Commission should amend relevant laws on financial disclosures.

The NACC currently requires only political office holders and high-ranking officials to disclose their assets.

The proposals also say that it should be clearly stipulated which officers are responsible for procurement and at which administrative level.

The Comptroller General’s Department should also come up with median prices for comparisons to prevent officials taking advantage of varied prices, the report said.

The reports also suggest setting Anti-Corruption Centres (ACCs) within government offices to help regulate, inspect and evaluate the performance of officials.

Officials should also encourage graft-fighting within their |agencies.

The NRSA panel also proposed moves to promote good governance in the private sector and suggested harsher measures against companies wrongfully exploiting the stock market.

The Anti Money Laundering Office should also apply stricter controls over companies that have operations and subsidiaries outside the country, including financial disclosure.

Both approved reports would be submitted to the NRSA |president and the Cabinet for |further consideration.
