The Road Freight Association
(RFA) is joining forces with
Corruption Watch in an effort
to root out one of the biggest
evils impacting operators.
David Lewis, executive
director of Corruption
Watch, said far more could
be achieved by working
together to reduce crime and
corruption in any sector.
According to Lewis,
tackling corruption requires
commitment from operators
out in the field as specifics
such as date, time, place,
the name of the officer or
government official involved
as well as vehicle licence
numbers are crucial. A
concise and consistent version
of what happened is also
necessary.
With resources always
limited it is not always
possible to investigate each
and every corruption incident
reported, said Lewis, but
emphasised that cases were
taken on in areas where it
was possible to have the most
significant impact.
