Laos focuses on countering corruption

The President of the State Inspection Authority of Laos says the Lao government pays close attention to addressing corruption around the country. Responding to questions from members of the National Assembly, Dr Bounthong Chitmany said corruption poses a threat to the stability of the Party and the Government and affects the socio-economic development of the country. "Laos is implementing an anti-corruption strategic plan until 2020 including four action plans and 16 projects," he said. "One newly enacted measure requires civil servants and officers to declare their properties and incomes. This is expected to be completed by the end of this year."
