OBJECTIVE 6: Fighting Corruption in the Public Sphere 3.2.14. Introduced and implemented a Pay No Bribe (PNB) Reporting System – As an innovative anti-corruption tool, the PNB is a reporting mechanism that enables citizens to anonymously report incidents of petty corruption and bribery online or through text messages. It uses the following: • a toll free hotline phone number (dial 515) • the PNB website www.pnb.gov.sl • a mobile app that can be downloaded and used without data charge • through CSO partner organizations. According to Mr. Ady Macauley, Commissioner, AntiCorruption Commission: “We will roll out the ‘Pay No Bribe’ Campaign, which puts the weapons to beat the evil of corruption in Sierra Leone into the hands of the public. It allows individuals to tell us in confidence when they have been asked to pay a bribe for health, education, water, power and police services. “Ministries, Departments and Agencies will act on this information to tackle bribery ‘hotspots’ and will report back to the public on the action they have taken. A robust 5-stage systems and procedures for implementing the PNB was established. These include: • STAGE 1: Reporting • STAGE 2: PNB Data processing • STAGE 3: MDA Review of Reports • STAGE 4: MDA Resolution; and • STAGE 5: Publishing of Resolutions 3.2.15.
