372 Diagnosing Corruption in Ethiopia quality, and any evidence of corruption is vital, both to deter corrupt acts and to help uncover corruption. It is recommended that the function be strengthened in the following ways: The number of auditors in the internal audit department should be increased to allow a wider-reaching, more frequent audit. Auditors should receive specific anticorruption training that highlights likely areas of corruption risk. The internal audit function should be able to select, on its own, which projects and which departments it audits, and at what time. It should not need approval from the ETC board in this regard and should resist and report any attempts by any director or manager of the ETC to prevent it from looking at any particular issue. The internal audit department should report any findings of possible corruption or wrongdoing simultaneously to four parties: the ETC’s board, the ETC’s ethics officer, the FEACC, and the ASC. The internal audit department should follow up on any request by the ETC’s ethics officer to investigate a particular issue, project, or department. Recommendation 5: Create an ETC-supplier forum. This chapter has exposed a degree of discontent on the part of both the ETC and private sector stakeholders about the performance of the other party. Although this is to some degree inevitable in any commercial arrangement, relationships could be improved and efficiency increased if the ETC and suppliers were to meet in a regular open forum where they could discuss any issues and propose solutions. Participation should be open to the ETC staff, to current and potential suppliers and contractors, and to relevant industry associations. Concluding Remarks This chapter is not intended to be definitive or to provide a financial or technical audit. Rather, it is a compilation of research, document analysis, and sector expert views that is intended to catalyze improved understanding of processes and practices in the sector. In undertaking this analysis, presenting the findings, and making recommendations, the authors are aware of the limited nature of the analysis as well as the polarized views of state and nonstate stakeholders. The chapter has therefore only taken small steps: mapping corruption risks within
Corruption in the Telecommunications Sector in Ethiopia: A Preliminary Overview 373 Ethiopia’s telecommunications sector, attempting to explain whether current perceptions of corruption are warranted; what type of corruption is taking place; and, if so, in which parts of the telecommunications sector and in which parts of the process. Based on stakeholder perceptions and analysis of available documents, the conclusion here is that there are indeed significant corruption risks in three specific areas. Detailed recommendations have been made about how these risks, and the associated lack of confidence in the sector, can be addressed. Notes 1. In this analysis, “corruption” is interpreted widely to include bribery, extortion, fraud, deception, collusion, cartels, abuse of power, embezzlement, trading in influence, money laundering, and similar unlawful actions. 2. A recently completed international fiber-optic cable, one of several potentially indirectly serving Ethiopia, required an investment of US$650 million. 3. Transparency International listed public works and construction as the most corrupt sector out of 19 international sectors surveyed (TI 2008). http:// www.transparency.org/policy_research/surveys_indices/bpi. 4. Ethiopian Telecommunications Corporation (ETC) Establishment Council of Ministers Regulation No. 10/1996. 5. Public Enterprises Proclamation No. 25/1992 6. This section and figure 8.2 draw on a range of sources, including Hartley and Murphree 2006. 7. Source data for figures are drawn from the BuddeComm telecommunications research site, in turn compiled from various sources (BuddeComm 2009a, 2009b). 8. The ETC response to the draft of this chapter strongly challenged a number of these perceptions (ETC 2010). 9. The ETC strongly challenged this perception (ETC 2010). 10.
