MPs are pressed to come up with their own anti-corruption solutions

Yesterday the Anticorruption Coalition founded by NGOs such us Batory Foundation, Fundacja Komunikacji Spolecznej, Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights, and Transparency International Polska, presented a flyer on: "What can politicians do to fight corruption?" The Coalition asked separate political groups to present their election manifesto on anti-corruption measures. Political parties including Law and Justice (PiS), Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) and Freedom Union (UW) responded. Suggestions included improving the act on public officials' duties, a tighter control over the privatization process and spending of non-appropriated funds. According to the declarations, police operations to trace corruption crimes need to be made more efficient. The Coalition wants to make the parties accountable for these declarations by the end of their terms. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 27) P.W.
