Last Thursday’s Awareness Dialogue was an opportunity to raise awareness on Niue’s United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) review findings.
It was also an opportunity to identify key areas for civil society organizations (NGOs) as well as media engagement to foster collaboration between stakeholders in order to strengthen transparency, accountability, and anti-corruption efforts.
BCN News spoke to one of the attendees, Lavea Amanaki Puheke of Tamakautoga who explained on what corruption means to him. He personally thinks Niue is corruption free.
“Corruption to me is a system working how its suppose to work,its a system that’s been damaged or changed by people to suit them.”
For other fellow attendee, Sandra Talagi of Makefu, corruption for her means you are told to do something but then you do something else.
Information pamphlets were handed out with presentations conducted by the team from the State Parties Laos and Mauri-tania, as well as the United Nations Office on Drugs and the Criminal Justice Officers from Austria and a UNODC Regional Anti Corruption Advisor from the Pacific Office. It was held at the Taoga Niue Auditorium.
Last week, Niue participated in an Implementation Review of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), reaffirming its commitment to combating corruption at both national and regional levels.
The Niue Crown Law Office led this initiative with Solicitor General-Justin Kamupala.
