Whistleblowing is essential

“It is a great milestone,” Vrkic says.

“Whistleblowing is essential not only for detecting fraud, corruption, and misconduct but also for safeguarding the public interest. It promotes a culture of accountability and integrity in both public and private institutions. This is critical for achieving more equitable growth, fairer societies and safer communities.”

Vrkic stated that at its simplest, corruption acts as a socio-economic cancer. It kills innovation, aspiration and stifles national development. Tackling it is never easy, but always necessary.
