Ombudsman, World Bank ink MOU
11 June 2012

            The Office of the Ombudsman (OMB) has forged with the Integrity Vice Presidency (INT) of the World Bank Group (WBG) a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) as part of their continuing battle against fraud and corruption.

            The MOU was signed by Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales and Leonard McCarthy, Vice President, INT of the WBG.

            Under the MOU, the INT of the WBG and the OMB will cooperate closely, as appropriate, with each other and consult each other on a regular basis on matters of mutual interest, in particular, “to provide one another (spontaneously [motu propio] or upon request) with information of relevance for the detection, substantiation and prevention of fraud and corruption in connection with conduct which may constitute a serious crime under national legislation or a sanctionable offense under World Bank rules and policies.”

            It said that the two parties shall undertake joint activities and collaborate when appropriate in each party’s efforts to detect, substantiate and prevent fraud and corruption.

            The two officials agreed that the OMB and the INT of the WBG shall “engage one another on relevant activities which they organize and undertake, and which may be of common interest in the discharge of their mandates.”

            The MOU states that both parties shall provide a mechanism for the reciprocal referral of inquiries and recommendations pertaining to investigations and actions residing within the mandate and jurisdiction of the respective parties; designate contact points to facilitate and expedite the effective and confidential transmission of information exchanged; and meet periodically to identify possible priority areas for cooperation that present common strategic or operational objectives.

            However, the MOU avers that “it is not intended to modify, or create any obligation contrary to, the legal and policy framework of either party and its respective mandate.

            It further states that the activities carried out on the basis of the MOU “shall be without prejudice to the respective privileges and immunities of each party, which are specifically reserved and which may be invoked at any time.”

            The MOU is expected to strengthen programs to enhance good governance, curb graft and corruption, and boost the accountability of public officials.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
