The new function of monitoring the interdictions and incompatibilities of senior officials

This function which was attributed to the office of the ombudsman has its origin from organic law N o61/2008 of 10/09/2008 on the Leadership code, especially article 36 which stipulates that the Office of the Ombudsman shall over see the implementation of this organic law. The same article also stipulates that the Office of the Ombudsman monitors the harmonization and the implementation of the organic law on leadership code of conduct and other specific laws on conduct. This must appear in annual reports of the office of the Ombudsman.

Basing on this organic law, a unit in charge of monitoring the interdictions and incompatibilities of senior officials was created, defined how a leader should behave or conduct himself/herself, what are the values and manners a leader should always have and the interdictions and incompatibilities in relation to their duties.
