Parliament adopted a legislative draft on the creation of the Anti-Corruption Bureau

The Anti-Corruption Bureau will not have an investigative function. It will oversee the implementation of the document defining the general anti-corruption policy and the National Anti-Corruption Strategy. This bureau will also coordinate the activities of relevant bodies, organizations and officials.

The Anti-Corruption Bureau will be accountable to the Parliament and the Interdepartmental Anti-Corruption Council. In particular, the head of the bureau will submit an annual report to the parliament, and periodic reports to the Interdepartmental Anti-Corruption Council.

Regarding the appointment of the head of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Georgian Dream proposes the following procedure: candidates for the position of head of the Anti-Corruption Bureau will be selected on the basis of an open competition, through a competition commission established with the participation of representatives of state bodies and civil society, and will be presented to the Prime Minister for appointment to a position. The Prime Minister will then select and appoint the head of the Anti-Corruption Bureau from among the candidates presented to him for a 6-year term.
