KUCHING: Sarawak Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation Authority (Salcra) clinched the Bronze Award at the Anugerah Integriti, Governans dan Anti Rasuah (AIGA 2023) on Thursday (Feb 22).
Salcra general manager Joseph Blandoi in a statement described it as an early result of their efforts to cultivate a clean working culture.
“When I took over the leadership of Salcra, we started by formulating the Organisational Anti-Corruption Plan (OACP) and implementing various initiatives.
“After three years, we have seen some encouraging results such as this award, as well as being rated by MACC as a medium-risk organisation,” he said.
He said they had not anticipated winning but had instead participated to pinpoint areas for improvement within their system.
However, he stressed that the journey toward ensuring integrity within Salcra is ongoing, acknowledging that there is still much room for improvement.
“There is still much room for improvement. We shall implement more initiatives to ensure everyone in the organisation internalises the importance of integrity in executing their responsibilities.
“Among the new initiatives include the Anti-Bribery Management System that shall start this year,” he added.
AIGA was established to recognise and appreciate the efforts and commitments of both the public and private sectors in nurturing the culture of integrity, governance and anti-corruption in their organisation.
Also present at the award ceremony were Internal Salcra Audit Manager Kubu Jenggi, Chief Security Officer Cannedy Ijau, and Certified Integrity Officer Susan Steward Ngau.
