    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me an opportunity to support the Report by my friend, Hon. Shakeel Shabir. In my view, corruption requires preventive measures as well as punitive interventions after it has occurred. I recommend that we focus on managing public authority in processes that lead to contractual engagements. In particular, the key to preventing corruption lies in proper procurement systems that foster transparency and accountability. In respect to this, I encourage greater automation of our procurement system so that there is a clear documentation of the processes and traceability of the actions that precede awarding of any Government contract. Also, the exercise of Government authority should be clearly recorded, documented and preserved. The use of artificial intelligence in our procurement process will greatly help fight this menace called corruption. Tied to that is effective investigations. Big investigations have been the greatest challenge to fighting corruption in this country. This is quite clear if you look at the cases that have been decided on. As regards cases that have had transnational character, whenever we have had mutual legal assistance in terms of investigation and prosecution, the culprits have been more or less convicted."
