Elucidating the Necessity of Drafting a Legal Provision for Corruption Prevention in the Law Establishing the General Inspection Organization

Abstract

Administrative corruption encompasses a range of factors and behaviors arising from individuals’ activities or bureaucratic rules, which, in practice, lead to public dissatisfaction, injustice, oppression of individuals, negligence, and lack of respect for service recipients. The General Inspection Organization (GIO) is tasked not only with overseeing the precise implementation of laws within the administrative apparatus of the country but also with identifying weaknesses in the enforcement of laws within the execution system and communicating these to authorities and officials to propose the best solutions. Furthermore, this organization must present appropriate solutions for addressing violations to executive organizations and institutions by leveraging cultural, social, economic, political, administrative, managerial, legal, and judicial factors. The research methodology employed in this study is descriptive-analytical. The objective of this paper is to highlight the gaps in the legal framework of the General Inspection Organization concerning corruption prevention. The findings indicate that, given Article 174 of the Constitution and the existing provisions in the Law on the Establishment of the General Inspection Organization, the subject of corruption prevention is highly ambiguous and superficial. Based on the consequences of corruption in various sectors, it is plausible to anticipate the formulation of a legal provision for combating corruption within the framework of the Law on the Establishment of the General Inspection Organization.
