KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 586 officers from the public sector, government-linked companies (GLCs) and the private sector have been accredited as certified integrity officers.
Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said they received accreditation after completing four main modules of the Certified Integrity Officer Programme (CEIO).
"The programme was introduced in 2010 to strengthen governance and integrity in the relevant sectors.
"So far 2,851 officers have been trained in the programme," he said at the accreditation ceremony here on Tuesday (April 22).
Certified integrity officers are tasked with planning, implementing and monitoring the effectiveness of integrity programmes while fostering a work culture with high integrity aimed at preventing corruption, he added.
"This is not just a training programme. It is a long-term strategic investment in building a system of government that is transparent, ethical and corruption-free.
"The success of the national integrity agenda depends on the commitment of all parties, especially the top leadership, policy implementers and integrity officers, which drives a culture of integrity," he said.
