2.Message
from the Director
Corruption is the abuse of delegated power for
private advantage. Thus, it is the misuse of public power through means that
are illegitimate, immoral, or incompatible with ethical standards of the
institutions. It can cost people’s freedom, health, money and sometimes even their
lives. By doing so, it undermines employee’s trust in institutions and leaders.
Thus, prevention and eradication of corruption is an absolute requirement for
better functioning of public institutions. As corruption becomes increasingly
sophisticated, the fight against it also demands a well-integrated,
multidisciplinary strategy. To this effect our directorate is designing
corruption prevention strategy together with the established corruption
prevention council of the university under the supervision of the Federal
Ethics and anti-corruption commission of Ethiopia. It is expected to be
effective in the coming month of December and reduce the act of maladministration
and corruption.
With your backing we
can lay corruption in its grave!
3.Vision
of the Directorate
The directorate aspires to see our university to be
one of the best corruption free universities in the nation in 2025 by curbing
