INSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEE During its ongoing annual session, the National People's Congress of China, the country's top legislature, will deliberate a draft supervision law designed to lay a legal foundation for an upgraded anti-graft taskforce. Upon adoption of the law, a new supervisory network would be established, consisting of supervisory commissions at the national, provincial, municipal and county levels, with legally defined duties and protocols. China's supervisory network reform will boost the country's efforts to fight corruption and thus benefit its economic development, Teddy Kaberuka, an economic analyst in Rwanda, told Xinhua. The new setup would sustain China's achievements in the anti-corruption campaign, he said, adding that a strong anti-corruption institution is very important for the country's economic development. With the proposed reform of the country's anti-corruption system, the CPC and the Chinese government are rapidly translating the resolve against corruption into realities, said Luxman Siriwardena, executive director of Pathfinder Foundation, a think tank in Sri Lanka. China's effective approach against corrupt officials offers a great lesson for Sri Lanka, which is also a developing country, he said, adding that efforts should be taken to ensure that corruption will never be a stumbling block for the overall development of a country.
