Two years
long anti-corruption training model will be introduced at the
Law Enforcement Academy in Kazakhstan in 2017. The preliminary available public
information of the program is appealing. This presumed determination to
implement such a systematic training process for prosecutors and
anti-corruption services staff is encouraging. It also provides an excellent
signal towards the effectiveness and efficiently in fighting corruption.
What
matters is the ultimate results. Success or failure of this new anti-corruption
training model depends on too many factors that are, understandably, far
beyond the Academy's control. Therefore, we believe the Academy should develop
measurable objectives for this program to judge its progress, setbacks, and
failures.
We
sincerely believe that prosecutors in too many developed and developing
countries need anti-corruption knowledge and skills. We hope that other nations
follow suit and take into consideration their respective unique
socioeconomic and cultural factors.
Disclosure: The AACI does not have any business or nonbusiness ties with the Law Enforcement Academy.
