What lessons can Apnac members draw from the OECD countries ?
Conflict of interest is one of the key issues that Apnac members can expect to be grappling with in the foreseeable future, both as individual members of Parliament and as law makers. This is because conflict of interest arises when public officials have to make decisions at work that may affect their private interests. In the past, conflict of interest concerns tended to focus on traditional sources of influence, such as gifts or hospitality offered to public officials and personal or family relationships. In recent years, however, increased co-operation and interaction between the public and the private sectors have made the whole issue more complex. This is, in part, a consequence of the expansion of the grey area between private and public affairs occasioned by the breaking down of barriers between public and private sectors through the privatization of services, public/private partnerships and exchanges of personnel. As a result, new opportunities for corruption have emerged. For
