With the consolidation of these three organizations, citizens can be provided with one-stop service of addressing public complaints, filing administrative appeals and fighting corruption by a single organization in a speedier and more convenient manner.

We will continue to overhaul a legal and institutional framework to offer more convenient and efficient public service to the people, resolve people’s grievances and as swiftly as possible, and spread a culture of integrity throughout the society to create a more advanced country where civil rights are fully respected and rule of law is abided by.
