Fair play with civil servants

All those interested in the profiles of the persons who administer the public affairs can obtain information about them by a single click. This became possible owing to the “Fair Play” application launched by the public association Center for the Analysis and Prevention of Corruption, Info-Prim Neo reports. “Many persons said that these laws do not function well and there is no transparency, while the interest examination commissions are inefficient or work only formally. Thus, we decided to implement a database that we called “Fair Play”. The aim of the project is to increase transparency, professionalism and efficiency in managing the public affairs and to effectively implement the laws designed to prevent and combat corruption,” said Galina Bostan, director of the Center for the Analysis and Prevention of Corruption. The application “Fair Play” contains several sets of data about the Government, legal entities and private individuals, reports of the Audit Office and statements submitted to the Central Examination Commission and the Central Election Commission. These sets contain information about all the Governments that worked after 1992, 200 lawmakers, members of the Government, heads of governmental institutions, persons to blame for Moldova’s convictions by the ECHR as well as about the incomes earned and property owned by civil servants. Galina Bostan said the information was systematized from public documents. “By this database, we also intend to publicly monitor the observance of the laws on the prevention and combating of corruption, and to prevent corruption in public affairs management by increasing transparency,” said Galina Bostan. The database will be permanently updated. There will be included new divisions about the work of the civil servants. The application “Fair Play” is available on the website of Center for the Analysis and Prevention of Corruption. The database was created at a cost of €45,000. The money was provided by Soros Foundation Moldova.
