State agency to introduce anti-corruption training for staff

The Railway Infrastructure Administration is to launch courses for employees aimed at teaching them how to resist corruption, iDne.cz reported. The agency – which has one of the biggest budgets among state institutions – is to spend CZK 2.1 million on the courses, which begin next month and will involve up to 700 staff members, the news site said. Officials say the body does not have a particular problem with corruption and that the courses fulfill demands set by an amendment to the law on companies’ criminal liability and come in response to new legislation on public tenders.
