Bahrain Council of Representatives’ delegation met with Dr. Nasser Al Sane, Chair of the Global Organization of parliamentarians against corruption (GOPAC) on the occasion of participating in the Fifth Global Conference held in Philippines Capital, Manila during the period from January 30 to February 2.
MP Ahmed Al-Sa’ati said that the Council of Representatives seeks benefiting from the experiences at the International Parliamentary Organizations to support the monitoring and legislative role, as well as the cooperation to support and develop the reform project, the democratic march and the parliamentary action in Kingdom of Bahrain.
Al-Sa’ati highlighted that preserving public money, combating administrative and financial violations, and strengthening the monitoring role would eliminate corruption in any society, pointing out that Kingdom of Bahrain has prominent efforts in this regard through the clear parliamentary role, and the reports of National Audit Court.
Dr Nasser Al-Sane expressed the Organization’s welcome to cooperate, transfer expertise and contribute to support the monitoring and legislative role with all the councils and parliaments, pointing out that fighting against corruption and maintaining public money is a civilized approach and a moral behaviour. He also highlighted that the teachings of Islam, and the Arab values urge a lot on that, stressing his support for the participation of the Bahraini parliamentary delegation in the works of the conference and the active membership.
