On 16^th June, the 2022 Annual Report of the Commission Against Corruption of Macao was published in the Official Gazette of the Macao Special Administrative Region. Regarding ombudsman actions, last year the CCAC found that some public servants’ awareness of compliance with the principle of exclusivity, the duty of recusal, etc. seemed rather weak. Those who involved in all cases substantiated by investigation have already been subject to disciplinary sanctions by the respective departments. In addition, through intervention into the matters that widely concern the public, the CCAC co-operates with competent entities or departments to seek solutions, safeguard residents’ legitimate rights and interests and streamline administration work. Meanwhile, the CCAC continues to make good use of the “retrospective review” mechanism to continuously follow up the improvement and optimisation actions taken by relevant departments or entities through the review system. The Annual Report has been submitted to the Chief Executive, Ho Iat Seng,in accordance with the Organic Law of the Commission Against Corruption of the Macao Special Administrative Region. Summaries of some of the cases handled by the Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Ombudsman Bureau were included in the report.
