“ARVO expresses its satisfaction for the government leadership support, and hoped that all politicians support this process,” Esar added.
Meanwhile, Anti-corruption secretariat, who is responsible for overseeing the implementation of the National Anti-Corruption Strategy, says that they report about their performances every six months.
