Transparency International Cambodia (T.I.) will next week launch an app
for smartphones that allows users to log instances of bribery with the advocacy
group.
Bribespot, the work of a team of German computer programmers, will
encourage users to share details of corrupt activity in real time, which will
be stored in a database by T.I. Users will not be required to create accounts
or provide identification, however, meaning T.I. will have no way to judge if
claims submitted are legitimate. The data will be used for advocacy purposes
only, and will allow T.I. to create a map of corruption in Cambodia.
Vice chairman of the Anti-Corruption Unit welcomed any attempts to
spread messages against graft but warned that only the ACU had authority to act
on complaints.
