CCT Seeks National Assembly Approval to Transform into Anti‑Corruption Court

The Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) has formally requested that the National Assembly grant it the status of a National Anti‑Corruption Court. The move would allow the body to expedite corruption cases, moving beyond its current role as a tribunal. The CCT’s proposal follows a prior draft that did not meet the necessary legal checks. By becoming a court, the CCT would gain the authority to conduct trials, issue judgments, and enforce penalties more swiftly. The proposal is now pending legislative review, and the Assembly will decide whether to approve the transformation. If approved, the CCT would become a dedicated anti‑corruption court, potentially accelerating the prosecution of corrupt officials.
