Thirty persons from key law enforcement agencies will over the next two weeks be exposed to an intensive anti-corruption training programme which, according to Attorney General Basil Williams SC is a part of government’s ongoing efforts to keep corruption away.
“For the fight against corruption to be successful there needs to be effective detection, investigation, analysis of evidence and prosecution of crime, ultimately leading to convictions. It is for these reasons that this course is important”, he said during the opening ceremony of the UK-funded financial investigation and anti-corruption programme which will be facilitated by two UK-based security experts who combined have a total of 60 years’ experience in anti-money laundering and fraud investigations.
Fourteen Special Organized Crime Unit (SOCU) officers, nine Criminal Investigation Department (CID) fraud ranks, two Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) ranks, one Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) officer and four persons from the State Assets Recovery Agency (SARA) will benefit from this training which is all part of the planned security sector reform.
