NLA to consider proposal on 'morality' panel
Play
The National Legislative Assembly (NLA) will meet on Tuesday to consider whether it should endorse the proposal for establishing a "National Confederation of Morality" to help push for concrete results on national reform.
The so-called confederation would be responsible for setting standards, ethics and good governance of public figures and state agencies. If established, the agency will also collect personal information of candidates and check their records before elections. It will have 55 members from the public, private and civic sectors.
If the NLA agrees with the plan to set up the agency, Cabinet approval will be required to issue a relevant law.
