A successful anti-corruption strategy
must have a free press to voice public opinion and report
cases of corruption, an effective and politically neutral
mechanism to investigate and prosecute corruption, and a
reliable judicial process to punish wrongdoing when it is
proved. It is rare to find all these elements in a
developing country. without considerable public pressure,
governments are unlikely to foster the transparency and
accountability needed to curb malfeasance by public
officials. Consequently there is a major role for civil
society organizations to campaign for such reforms. This is
the mission of the national chapters of Transparency
International. This Note discusses the crucial role played
by the Bangladesh chapter of Transparency International in
pressing for the implementation of corruption reform,
publicizing well-researched facts about corruption, and
lobbying for additional measures. |
