The Anti-Corruption Commission presented its 19th Annual Report to the Good Governance Committee of the National Assembly on 10 November 2026. Submitted in accordance with Article 27(4) of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Bhutan and Section 169(1) of the Anti-Corruption Act of Bhutan 2011, the Report covers the period from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026. The ACC acknowledged Bhutan’s encouraging performance in national and global integrity assessments while underscoring the need to address emerging corruption risks, strengthen institutional accountability, and sustain public trust. It also emphasised the importance of moving beyond conventional enforcement approaches towards proactive prevention, intelligence-led interventions, and stronger institutional integrity systems.
A detailed presentation of the Annual Report highlighted the ACC’s key achievements, performance, challenges, strategic priorities, and recommendations. Particular emphasis was placed on three areas requiring broader policy and legislative attention presented in the report. The presentation was followed by an interactive question-and-answer session, during which the Committee sought clarifications and exchanged views on key findings and recommendations. The engagement provided an important platform for constructive dialogue on strengthening Bhutan’s national integrity framework and advancing collective anti-corruption efforts.
The 19th Annual Report will be deliberated during the upcoming session of Parliament.
