Anti-Corruption Efforts in
Poland
-The CBA-
Review by Alessandro D’Alessio
The Central Anti-Corruption Bureau
(CBA) is a polish special service that has the specific objective to combat
corruption in public and economic life, especially in local and public government
institutions as well as fighting against actions that can have a negative
impact to the State’s economic interest. The Act of 9 June 2006 on the Central
Anti-Corruption Bureau regulates its activities. The Head of the CBA, appointed
for a term of 4 years, is the central authority of the government
administration; the Prime Minister appoints him after a consultation with the
President of the Republic of Poland, the Special Services Committee and the
Parliamentary Committee for Special Services; the Head of the CBA may be
reappointed only once.
