African anti-corruption agencies' can use Facebook and Twitter to make it easier for their communities to report corruption and interact with them https://t.co/1KvUoinMiD @ZIMCODD1 @ZELA_Infor @Cortini @fadzyMislee @TitusGwemende @AdyMacauley @alvinmosioma @Al_Sufism

Congratulations Mr Ady Macauley

[Ady Macauley @AdyMacauley]

I am deeply honoured to receive the International Humanitarian Award at the House of Lords in Westminster Palace, London, alongside distinguished leaders such as Hon. Prof. Mthuli Ncube, Zimbabwe’s Minister of Finance, Economic Development, and Investment Promotion; Dr. Dennis Idahosa, Deputy Governor of Edo State, Nigeria; and Dr. Christopher William Martin, CEO of Fly Elite Jet, among others. This recognition reaffirms my commitment to upholding human rights and the rule of law, and I am grateful that my efforts are acknowledged beyond my country’s borders.

@IntegritySouth The long-term trend in #CPI results should not be overlooked. The CPI 2024 results demonstrate the world’s overall inability to make progress in reducing #corruption. Take a look at country performance in 2012-2024. @mukasiri @AdyMacauley https://t.co/zmNeCbft0p

[John W. Leonardo @PfmcLeo]

The response by the government raises questions about the competence and integrity of the responsible Minister.

Where does the responsibility for this failure lie? Bureaucrats or politicians?

[Integrity South Sudan @IntegritySouth]

Where is the South Sudan budget? While our neighbors have their sorted, and the new FY 2024/2025 budget has started, we're stuck in budget limbo.

Robust audit reports (whenever they are available) should disclose the reality of the government's spending

[Integrity South Sudan @IntegritySouth]

The government of South Sudan needs to come to terms with the reality that effective policy action, not mere propaganda, is the solution to the prevailing economic crisis.

Retention of institutional memory is an important activity for finance ministries but this is not always undertaken effectively.

[Integrity South Sudan @IntegritySouth]

The frequent reshuffling of ministers at the Ministry of Finance in South Sudan 🇸🇸 is creating instability within the Ministry of Finance or lose of institutional memory.

@IntegritySouth The evidence is overwhelming. Significant political will to address corruption in #SouthSudan is required if corruption is to be reduced and CPI scores dramatically increased. https://t.co/LCHVNJHcLs

@GraftGladiators Here is a close look at the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) 2023 results for West African countries @NigerStopCorrup @civtransparence @CHRAJGHANA @anlcguinee @MaliOclei @halciaNiger @officialEFCC #corruption #WestAfrica https://t.co/qYW1tRuZSq

[John W. Leonardo @PfmcLeo]

@IntegritySouthThe percentage of African countries recording increased CPI scores during 2012-2023 exceeded the respective global results. The results demonstrate the outstanding challenges. @AdyMacauley @mukasiri @GraftGladiators #Africa #corruption https://t.co/LupnypsFZl

[John W. Leonardo @PfmcLeo]

@IntegritySouth Political commitment to reducing corruption is obviously limited.

[Integrity South Sudan @IntegritySouth]

Unfortunately, again South Sudan is among the most corrupt countries in the world with 13% according to Transparency International Corruption Perception Index 2023. Who has bewitched South Sudan?
