Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank Group, spoke about how
corruption poses an enormous obstacle to economic and social
development, and the global goal of ending extreme poverty
by 2030. He defined corruption as stealing from the poor. The Bank that has zero tolerance for
corruption, has opened itself to scrutiny, and is
influencing governments and the private sector to take
wide-ranging steps to prevent corruption. He gave few inputs
on a new agenda that draws on citizens’ demands for
transparency and accountability, an agenda that draws on all
partners and available tools as follows: First, we must
continue to push for more information and greater
transparency involving public funds; Second, we must use
innovation and technology to drive change around the world.
Third, we must do more to get citizens and the private sector
involved; And finally, successful anti-corruption efforts
must feature a broad coalition of leaders both inside and
outside of government, working together. He saluted and
strongly supported Prime Minister Cameron’s call for a
coordinated global effort to fight corruption. |
