Govt criticised for delay in forming anti-corruption commission

"There is widespread concern among the people over the dilatory tactics of the government in taking steps to combat the rampant corruption which is damaging the national economy, impeding investment and negating good governance," said Dr Kamal in a statement.

He said this delay is undue since the law passed on February 24 for forming the commission is a self-contained law stating that it will override other laws.

Dr Kamal said this is the same dilatory approach that the government has taken in implementing the Supreme Court verdict for separating the judiciary from the executive within a stipulate period.
