According to the report, the number of cases qualifying for investigation is a substantial increase compared to 2021-2022. Moreover, the report stated that none of the corruption reports lodged by unknown sources qualified for investigation.

Ministries constituted the highest number of corruption reports which is 39 followed by Gewog administration and district administration with 26 and 20 cases respectively.

In the meantime, the report stated, that for the first time in four years, the corruption reports against the Gewog administration witnessed a substantial dip.

According to the report, this could be attributed to rigorous targeted advocacy and thematic sessions conducted for Local Government functionaries towards enhancing transparency, integrity and accountability measures.

With regard to the district administrations, the highest corruption reports were received against Paro followed by Dagana.

The commission also received 12 referral cases from the Royal Audit Authority related to suspicion of corruption offences.
