The royal decree called for the establishment of this commission within 3 months.
In addition, the royal decree also made it clear that the Anti-Corruption Commission will oversee and observe all government departments. The decree made it clear that there no government department will be excluded from the purview of the Anti Corruption Commission.
Moreover, the royal decree gives the anti-corruption commission the task of observing the implementation of orders and special instructions with respects to public affairs, as well as observing and challenging administrative and financial corruption.
The decree as well called on all government sectors and bodies, to submit to the authority of the commission and provide it with whatever it requires.
