Commissioner Against Corruption Chan Tsz King led a delegation to visit Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) yesterday, according to a Commission Against Corruption (CCAC) statement.
The statement noted that during the visit, Chan met with ICAC Commissioner Woo Ying-ming, with both exchanging views on the “integrity-building work” of the two special administrative regions (SARs). Both are pursuing the same goals, the statement said, and will continue to strengthen future cooperation and have “zero tolerance” for lawbreakers.
The Chinese names of the anti-graft bodies of the two SARs are identical, meaning “integrity-building” commissions.
Chan, according to the statement, said that he looked forward to further cooperation with the ICAC, and he also expressed his gratitude for its long-standing support and assistance.
The statement added that Chan also introduced the CCAC’s “Integrity Management Plan”, which is aimed at public entities in its first stage and the private sector in the next.
Chan noted that the law on fighting corruption in Macau’s private sector has been in effect for over a decade, adding he hoped that the CCAC can further improve the system by drawing on the ICAC’s experience according to Macau’s actual circumstances.
Meanwhile, the statement said that Woo agreed that the continuous collaboration between the ICAC and its Macau counterpart will be “more productive” in their joint fight against venality.
Woo also introduced the nature of the cases that the ICAC, which is slated to celebrate its 50th anniversary next year, recently cracked down on, and its electoral supervision work.
Deputy Commissioner Ao Ieong Seong and Chief of the Cabinet of the Commissioner Against Corruption Chan In Chio were among the CCAC delegates who also visited the ICAC headquarters.
The meeting was also attended by ICAC Deputy Commissioner and Head of Operations Yau Shu-chun, and Corruption Prevention Director Lee Yat-sau, among others.
