On Friday, together with the US Embassy Deputy Chief of Mission Deborah Mennuti, Supervisor Scanlan met with the leadership of the District Government and Assembly to discuss steps on how to accelerate putting into practice the policy of zero-tolerance of corruption.
This involves more intensive policing and prosecution of corruption with a clear message that the law applies to everyone equally. It also involves taking legislative steps and structural changes to ensure that the District public administration and public companies provide fast, transparent and quality services to the public, and are not undermined by appointments based on patronage or nepotism.
