The resources allocated to establish the OSP office could have been utilised more effectively by investing in a sophisticated, secure and centralised database system.
This proactive approach would significantly combat illegal transactions, particularly among government officials, fostering a more secure environment within the state.
It is imperative for the nation's security council to urgently advocate for the implementation of a well-structured, highly secure centralized database system. Such a system, fortified with advanced security features, would play a pivotal role in bolstering the state's economic growth.
The government's introduction of paperless initiatives, including the E-Levy, could greatly contribute to the nation's welfare if implemented on a foundation of a secure and well-organised network. This would facilitate efficient tracking of transactions for both governmental and non-governmental organisations within and beyond the state's borders.
In the era of technological advancements, accountability has become paramount, and a secure database system is crucial in achieving this without compromise. Moreover, technology has elevated the capabilities of investigations, ensuring the safeguarding of the state's security architecture.
Regrettably, the recent press conference by the OSP highlighted external elements attempting to undermine the anti-corruption efforts, posing a challenge to the integrity of the mission.
