Thirty-five staff members of Sierra Leone’s Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) have gained valuable insights into China’s anti-corruption supervisory system during a specialised seminar held at Nanjing Audit University (NAU).
The seminar, titled “Identifying and Monitoring Corrupt Practices in China,” forms part of an ongoing capacity-building programme sponsored by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce to strengthen the skills of ACC personnel in corruption prevention, detection, and monitoring.
During the session, Professor Chi Tong delivered a lecture on the evolution of China’s anti-corruption supervisory framework, explaining how administrative, judicial, and Communist Party oversight mechanisms operate under the National Supervisory Commission (NSC) to promote transparency, integrity, and accountability.
Professor Chi stressed that officials entrusted with enforcing discipline must themselves adhere to the highest ethical standards.
“Those who enforce discipline must first abide by it themselves,” he said.
Speaking on behalf of the Sierra Leonean delegation, ACC Deputy Commissioner Augustine Foday Ngobie expressed appreciation to Nanjing Audit University for the valuable learning opportunity and conveyed optimism about strengthening future collaboration between the ACC and the institution.
He noted that enhanced cooperation would contribute to building anti-corruption capacity and promoting knowledge exchange between Sierra Leone and China.
As part of the programme, the delegation also toured the University’s Audit Museum, where participants learned about the history and evolution of China’s auditing system and its contribution to the country’s anti-corruption efforts.
The training forms part of broader initiatives aimed at enhancing the capacity of ACC staff and strengthening Sierra Leone’s fight against corruption through international partnerships and the exchange of best practices.
