This decision aligns with the legal, organizational, and strategic anti-corruption framework outlined in the International Monetary Fund’s report on governance diagnostics technical assistance support, said President’s Media Division.

The National Anti-Corruption Framework includes several key actions, such as the full implementation of the anti-corruption legislation passed in 2023, the development of an effective action plan, regular progress reviews every six months, and ensuring adequate budget provisions for the action plan.

Additionally, the framework calls for the creation of a clear national anti-corruption strategy for the period 2025-2029.

The framework also proposes amending the National Audit Act (No. 19 of 2018) to expand the legal authority of the Auditor General.
