She added that the new strategy is centred on four values, regarding both central and local administrations and is to be applied for good governance.
Justice Minister Raluca Pruna said “there are four values the new strategy is centred on, namely the public interest and its first place against private interests of those in public offices, integrity, transparency of decisions and, not least, political will. The strategy’s novelty is that we focus on prevention, so that we prevent corruption deeds, while the philosophy of the entire strategy is this – any corruption deed investigated by the prosecutors, means it is a management failure.”
