| has gloss | eng: The Sierra Leone Anti-corruption Commission (ACC-SL) was established by the Anti-Corruption Act passed by the Sierra Leone Parliament in 2000. It supersedes the 1960 Prevention of Corruption Act. Formation The ACC was established following the 1990s civil war to investigate rampant corruption in public agencies, then beginning to receive renewed foreign investment. The 2000 Anti-Corruption Act established the ACC as an independent commission to investigate government corruption. The ACC was partially funded and staffed by foreign (mostly British) experts, although in 2007 the British government withdrew support claiming the ACC were not given broad enough powers. |
