The Act establishes a robust framework for preventing, identifying and addressing conflicts of interest in the public service. It redefines the boundaries between public duty and private interest, introduces stricter prohibitions, and grants wider enforcement powers to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (the EACC).
