Mangochi, Malawi – Mangochi District Council is taking proactive steps to promote integrity and combat corruption by raising awareness about its Institutional Integrity Committee (IIC) among public officers and local community members. This initiative, spearheaded by Acting District Commissioner Bisai Mtayamanja, aims to foster transparency, accountability, and a corrupt-free culture within the district.
Through various outreach efforts, the council has worked to ensure that public sector staff across different departments understand their roles in supporting the IIC’s goals. Community Development Assistants (CDAs) are also relaying essential information about the committee to local communities, helping to build grassroots support for anti-corruption efforts.
Mtayamanja explained that the IIC’s mission is to address corruption, which has been a significant issue in Mangochi, and promote a culture of integrity within public offices and local structures. “We want a corrupt-free Mangochi,” he emphasized, calling for collective action from both public officers and residents to uphold integrity across all levels of governance.
The council’s commitment to educating public officers and the community on the importance of integrity and accountability reflects its dedication to ensuring a more transparent and corruption-free environment. With continued efforts, Mangochi District aims to set a strong example of ethical governance and public trust in Malawi.
