Anit-Corruption commemorated

The Anti-Corruption Commission of Namibia commemorated International Anti-Corruption Day by painting powerful and unifying slogans on a public wall between the Nampol Headquarters and the Welwitchia Hospital in Walvis Bay on Friday.
Corruption is a complex social, political and economic phenomenon that affects all countries. Corruption undermines democratic institutions, slows economic development and contributes to governmental instability. On 31 October 2003 the United Nations General Assembly adopted the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC). The convention was opened in Mexico from 9 – 11 December 2003. As a result of this historic event, 9 December was designated as the International Anti-Corruption Day in order to raise awareness of corruption and how it affects societies worldwide.
