Government of Hong Kong

“ In June 1973, a police chief superintendent fled Hong Kong while under investigation by the Anti-Corruption Office. The then Governor, Lord Murray MacLehose, appointed a Commission of Inquiry to look into the circumstances of the case, advise on the effectiveness of the anti-corruption laws and suggest possible amendments. In response to the findings of the Commission of Inquiry and prevailing public opinion, the Governor set up an independent organisation to tackle corruption, heralding a new era in the fight against corruption. ”

“ In 2006, the department in conjunction with the Civil Services Bureau launched the Programme of Ethical Leadership, which called upon government bureaux and departments to nominate ethics officers to form a network for sharing experience on ethical governance and integrity management on a long-term basis. ”

“ In the light of closer economic ties between Hong Kong and the Mainland, the department produced 'A Tool Kit on Managing Staff Integrity for Financial Services Sector' in December 2006 to help managers engaged in the provision of cross-boundary financial services to manage staff integrity.
Youth has always been one of the priority targets in preventive education. Apart from conducting talks in schools, the department organises interactive drama performances to raise secondary school students' awareness to the evils of corruption. ”
