The Executive Power established a "NATIONAL ANTICORRUPTION
PLAN (2019 – 2023)" through Decree No. 258/2019
published in the Official Gazette on April 10th 2019.
This plan has 250 initiatives aimed at "consolidating and
deepening the path of transparency in the public
administration". This plan complies with a series of
"international conventions against corruption, organized crime
and money laundering of the UN, the OAS," and the standards
provided by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD).
Firstly, the Plan highlights a series of laws and modifications
promoted in recent years, such as the Law on the Right to Access
Public Information, the Law of the Repentant for Cases of
Corruption and the Law on Criminal Liability of Legal Persons,
among other. Along these lines, "simplification and
de-bureaucratization rules of the Public Administration" are
also mentioned.
