Myanmar anti-corruption progress / India dynastic corruption / Bhutan legal interpretation

Corruption is still rooted in many places: Anti-Corruption Commission.  ““The [Myanmar Anti-corruption] commission has steadfastly fought corruption that is rampant across the country for over the past three years. But only a few places saw corruption stop whereas it is still rampant in many parts of the country as ever as before,” the chairman said…He stressed the need for the government, out of political goodwill, to lead the fight against corruption in order to realize the anti-corruption millennium goals. He also called for inclusive participation when work committees are formed.”

Dynastic corruption is a challenge to progress: PM Modi.  “Inaugurating the three-day National Conference on Vigilance and Anti-Corruption, organised by the Central Bureau of Investigation, Mr. Modi said ineffective action against one generation of offenders emboldened the next generation to indulge more in corrupt practices.”

Institutional obstruction to fight corruption (Opinion).  “The current interpretation of [Bhutan’s Section 167(1), of the ACC Act on suspending public officials under investigation if they are “likely to impede the investigation”], by institutions may lead to abuse of right to appeal by the individual officials to buy time...[which] is useful for the officials as they can occupy their current position till the final decision,”
