Our mandate is: to receive complaints from any person or entity, investigate, detect and prevent practices linked to corruption in both the public and private sector. This is the first public event organised by the Commission, and I must say that I am truly happy and humbled that you have honoured our invitation. Your presence here clearly signifies the importance of the need to eradicate corruption from our society. Today we denounce corruption in all its forms. By standing here with us in the open as we take the first steps in fighting corruption, you make history in this country. A person of integrity never fears to face the world at any time. As the leadership of this beautiful nation, we should be exemplary and not only condemn but also practically avoid and fight corruption. Each one of us should shun and desist from corruption if the citizens are to enjoy better services. The Commission shall not condone impunity. Not even the so-called small fish will be left swimming freely, because it is the widespread occurrence of such small acts of corruption that amount cumulatively to a big dent in the economy of a country. The Seychellois people should find comfort and confidence in the fact that we are a self-governing, neutral and independent Commission under nobody's control, authority or direction. We are not subject to the command of the executive, the legislature, the judiciary or any other entity or person. Matters shall * Hon Justice Gaswaga is the Chairman of the Anti-Corruption Commission of Seychelles. This contribution combines the contents of two of his speeches, the first delivered on the occasion of the establishment of the Commission on 29 September 2016 and the second on the occasion of the launch of the Commission on 27 April 2017.
