A key agency that has been established to recover stolen state assets is taking the fight of corruption to the streets.
The State Assets Recovery Agency (SARA), an autonomous agency, was created through the State Assets Recovery Act of 2017, and passed in Parliament on April 13, 2017.
The act mandates SARA to recover, through civil proceedings, state property unlawfully acquired by a public official or any other person.
SARA, in a statement, said it has embarked on launching this campaign “Corruption is Everybody’s Business”, in collaboration with various Government agencies, in the fight against corrupt practices within the nation.
On Friday, one such activity will be hosted with a symbolic walk against corruption, from 14:00hrs to 16:30hrs along the Camp Street avenue.
“The aim of this initiative is to raise awareness of corruption. Among those invited to speak are Director of SARA Professor Clive Thomas; British High Commissioner, James Greg Quinn; Anti-corruption Advisor: United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, David Robinson; The Queen’s Young Leaders and Key members of the Religious Community.”
After the short ceremony, all invitees will participate in a symbolic walk against corruption.
The event will take place from the corners of Camp and Lamaha Streets, SARA said.
