Earlier, addressing the inaugural session of a seminar to deal with corruption,on the international day against corruption, Mr. Thomas said that Commission has drafted as National Anti Corruption Strategy prescribing a participative holistic approach to address corruption from both demand and supply side.
He called for reforms in public procurement system for making it transparent. Mr. Thomas said good ethics are important for a corruption free society and the Commission has recommended to government to incorporate ethics in the educational system.
Replying questions from the media on the sidelines of the functions, Central Vigilance Commissioner when asked whether he intends to resign from the post in the wake of allegations of corruption, he refused to comment. He also added that the matter is sub-judice.
Speaking on the occasion, the Former Central Vigilance Commissioner N. Vital urged the government to give powers to the Commission to sanction prosecution against those officials against whom the Commission has made investigations to prosecute him.
He also said that there should be no discrimination in prosecuting people in government service with respect to their post as it is violation of the constitution.
