The National Anti-Corruption Commission, CONAC, on Saturday, December 9, 2023, joined the international Community to commemorate the 2023 edition of the International Anti-Corruption Day, under the theme: United Nations Convention against Corruption at 20: Uniting the World against Corruption.
The event was marked by a sensitisation walk that was led by the Governor of the South Region Felix NGUELE NGUELE and the Chairman of CONAC, Rev. Dr. Dieudonné MASSI GAMS. Participants, including Administrative Authorities in the South Region, heads of Anti-Corruption Units in government ministries, state corporations and local councils, as well as civil society actors, embarked on a 5 km walk across major streets of Ebolowa, with some of them stopping to sensitise and distribute anti-corruption materials to the public.
Meanwhile, in the build up to the commemoration of the 2023 International Anti-Corruption Day, CONAC organised a two-day training workshop, still in Ebolowa, on the 7th and 8th of December 2023, for heads of Anti-Corruption Units in Institutions offering public service and Municipal Councils across the country.
