No you do not have to give your name when making a corruption report to ALAC. You will not be required to give your name and you can choose to remain anonymous or to not provide any personal information.

When reports of corruption are made to NIA, all information is kept strictly confidential. The general procedure is that a member of our Advocacy and Legal Advice Centre (ALAC) will receive your report and take the necessary particulars.

A differentiated approach is taken to all corruption reports received as situations are often not exactly the same. Generally, NIA will provide information as to how you may pursue your corruption related matter to have it addressed and may, where possible, provide other practical assistance within its capability, to facilitate this.

Where possible, information or assistance in the form of advice may immediately be provided to you. This may include recommendations such as the appropriate manner in which your matter may be pursued or the appropriate body with responsibility for handling your matter. Otherwise, you may be asked to provide further information in the form of documentation or to come in to NIA’s office for further details to be taken, if the situation requires.

It may be determined that your report concerns a matter for which an existing organization or agency has statutory or other responsibility. In such circumstances, the matter will be promptly referred to such organization or agency for the appropriate steps to be taken.
