A READING OF LAW NO. 22-08 REGULATING THE SUPREME AUTHORITY FOR TRANSPARENCY, PREVENTING AND COMBATING CORRUPTION
Main Article Content
Abstract
We can only say that the legislator, by reviewing the provisions of Law No. 22-08, had a genuine intention to embody transparency in order to prevent and combat corruption by facilitating the role of the Supreme Authority to achieve this noble objective. Despite the independence granted to it in administrative and financial matters, we believe that it has not been able to fully realize this sovereignty due to its implicit dependence on the President of the Republic. There is no independence without absolute independence. Therefore, it would be beneficial for the legislator to address this point by at least establishing an electoral mechanism for the President of the Supreme Authority and its council members to ensure independence in a democratic Algeria.
