Committee (BOCOG) Thursday signed letters of responsibility with its department
chiefs to make them assume responsibility if anything involving corruption
happens.
Liu Jingmin, executive vice-president of the BOCOG, inked the letters on
behalf of the organizing committee with heads of all BOCOG departments during a
meeting restating necessity and importance of anti-corruption while preparing
for the Games.
"We promised a clean Olympic Games free of corruption when we won the bid.
Now the department heads have signed the letters of responsibility, which is
their commitment to prevent corruption within the BOCOG," Liu said.
According to the agreement, heads of the departments will be held responsible
if wrongdoing such as breaching anti-corruption regulation, embezzlement or
corruption occurs.
Beijing Olympics will kick off on August 8, 2008 in the most populous
country.
