សន្ទសសន្ន៍ន្ការយលឃ់ ើញអឃំពើពកុរលយួឺ៖ RECOMMENDATIONS 2017

Key recommendations of TI Cambodia are:

1. Ensure an enabling environment for anti-corruption, rule of law and democratic governance to

flourish

2. Tackling corruption in the judiciary and promotion of access to justice. Ensuring an independent

judiciary is key to building public trust and enhancing confidence among investors

3. Ensure independence of the Anti-Corruption Unit and enforce the anti-corruption law more

effectively

4. Timely adopt the draft laws on the Protection of Reporting Person and on the Protection of

Witness, Expert and Victim and the law on Access to Information and application of the laws

indiscriminately

5. Amend a number of articles of the current Anti-corruption Law, including emphasizing the

importance of public asset declaration and including spouses and immediate family members in

the asset declaration requirements

6. Combat nepotism and conflicts of interest in public institutions

7. Promote culture of integrity, transparency and accountability across all spectrum of the society
