High-Level Surveillance is well known that the practice of high-level of each administration, which constitutionally and legally responsible for the supervision of learning using public funds, regardless of their terminology, or how it is prepared or organized. Such a governing body of state delegates responsibility for surveillance, such as the state of public finances is spent and, if applicable, specific information to the European Parliament, the task of approving the budget and its final completion or Cabinet, is responsible for monitoring the performance of the leaders of agencies, or the parliament and the government at the same time.
Information supplied by the body control such a reference, such as public funds are managed or spent. This means that the power and responsibility in the fight against corruption must be delegated to one or eminent personalities ruling body, through its constitutionally established and an independent judiciary. Services control is an integral part of the process of combating corruption.
First, we need a constitutional provision that high-level body for the control of public spending and the fight against corruption. Undoubtedly, the Constitution of the Republic of Yemen is thought, like most domestic sublime. While the Constitution provides for the establishment of a high-level team to carry on board or body control on public spending and the fight against corruption, as well as the opening of branches in different provinces, it will be as fundamental guarantee for maintaining continuity, the independence and effectiveness While the whole process of struggle and monitoring corruption, as public funds are expended.
The relevant articles in the sense that, in the establishment of real and effective corps of full administrative and financial autonomy provides that the independence of the supervisory board in the Constitution, is more powerful, that the same thing in another operation simple justice. Another reason is that other laws are often changes and cancellations.
The constitutional article on the establishment of a high level and the supreme organ of public spending, to monitor and limit the spread of corruption appears to be in conformity with international conventions and recommendations by several international organizations. These organizations stress the need for the Constitution, which provides that the authorisation and supervision of high-level public funding and how they are spent.
Lima Declaration, 1977, the Tokyo Declaration of 1985, the 1988 Bali Declaration, the Beijing Declaration of 1991, Banjul Statement of 1993, New Delhi, the declaration of 1994 and the Cairo Declaration of 1995, all have Helped by several Arab and Western countries, which Role in the case of High - the monitoring plan, and its objectives and scope.
For example, Article 47 of the French Constitution provides that Parliament and the Cabinet, promises support for the execution of the Court of Auditors in the centre of laws and regulations. In Germany, sections 121 and 128 of the 1948 Constitution, which came into force in the provision of jobs to the Court of Auditors, education and the responsibility of the president is dominating.
In Jordan, the government has an obligation to give an account of Liege 1952, in accordance with section 119 of the state constitution, it is stated: “A sofa accountability by a law on the control of public revenue and how they managed and spent. ” In Tunisia, Chapter 57 of the state, the entry into force in 1957, provides for the creation of a circle of accountability for the revision and Auditing and reports in this regard, President of the Republic and Parliament.
Second, judicial independence, control of body, the fight against corruption, financial services. We see that judicial independence is a prerequisite to ensure that the agency responsible for monitoring government spending and to combat all forms of corruption. At the moment, the main objective is to ensure that the supervision of financial institutions are subject to an effective judicial system, that extensive powers of grants and guarantees for judges, for more capable to fighting corruption, control of public expenditure and financial crimes.
The responsibility of the circle is designed as the highest financial supervision enjoys wide body and justice and administrative authorities powers to carry out its duty. A great example of that is in Algeria, where the responsibility of board receives justice and administrative authorities powers during practice on the supervision of public funds and expenditure.
Thirdly, financial control and the fight against corruption in Yemen. In our country, the control of public funds is practiced by Central Organization for Control & Audit, a correspondent of the Act during the year 1992 as an agency for high-level personnel or high-level with experience in practice Surveillance of public funds and the fight against corruption, but is morally Its autonomy.
In addition, more or less the same work is performed by the Supreme National Anti-Corruption Authority, by Act No. 29 as a senior national autonomous broad legal powers delegated to the fight against corruption and crack on corrupted.
The main objective of the creation of these agencies is to monitor and public funds are spent as they are, but Constitution of the Republic of Yemen is not convinced of the need for its judicial autonomy.

“If you want to become a judge,” saying goes in the legal community, “go to school law with a senator.”
The message, though generally referring to federal court, resonates in a state like Virginia, where judges need to get legislative support on the bench.
It is not uncommon for an aspiring judge to have ties to a legislator - generally a shared bloodline, political affinity, personal relationship or combination thereof.
While some connections construe such as evidence of patronage and others write them off as the reality of politics in a rural area, the sine qua non - if one exists - landing of a judgeship appears to be having some bond with a legislator.
Joseph R. Loading, a circuit court judge in Wise, is one of those who stands out for his ties to one of South West Virginia’s most influential political clans.
Loading began working for state Delegate Terry G. Kilgore in 1994, when he was still an undergraduate at the University of Virginia’s College at Wise, the alma mater of Terry and his brother, Jerry Kilgore. Loading received academic credit while serving as an aide in Richmond, splitting his time between state and Terry Kilgore Senator William C. Wampler Jr.
After attending law school and passing the bar, was elected loading Wise County commonwealth’s attorney in 1999, but stepped down after a year to serve as deputy chief to Jerry Kilgore, who in 2001 was elected state attorney general.
Loading, who in a telephone interview said he considers the Kilgores “personal friends,” left the attorney general’s office to serve as a senior adviser to Jerry Kilgore’s failed campaign for governor.
Before the campaign ended in 2005, loading spotted a vacant judgeship in Wise and told his legislators he’d like to be considered. He was called in to interview with the General Assembly, and in January 2006, was appointed to a general district court seat. A year later, he was moved up to circuit court.
The political connection for St. Clear Isaac Freeman, a circuit court judge in Marion, Va., came through the father of a current legislator.
Freeman was a top aide to William Sr. Wampler - a US Congressman and father of the current state senator - from 1966-71.
Freeman, a native of Virginia Bristol, himself a candidate for state office, ultimately unsuccessful in bids as a Republican for the Senate in 1975 and the House of Delegates in 1982.
In a telephone interview, Freeman said he was approached by delegate in 2002, Joseph P. Johnson Jr., a Democrat, and William Wampler Jr., a Republican, about a judgeship vacant. He was appointed as a general district court judge in 2003 and moved up to circuit court in 2005.
Other sitting judges with ties to lawmakers, past and present, abound:
From Lee Michael Moore, a circuit court judge in the 29th Judicial District and former Democrat, went to law school with Terry and Jerry Kilgore.
N Chadwick P. Dotson, a general district court judge in Wise, was a prominent conservative blogger, and donated $ 748 to state Republican candidates - including $ 550 to Terry and Jerry Kilgore - prior to taking the bench.
Mr. Teresa de Chafin, chief circuit court judge for the 29th Judicial District attorney is married to Frank Kilgore, who is not related to Terry and Jerry Kilgore but has donated more than $ 25000 to the pair over the last decade - just more than half of Total his contributions to candidates for state office.
By John C. Kilgore, a circuit court judge in Scott County, is no relation to the delegate and former attorney general, but was an associate in the law firm of Terry Kilgore and Greg Baker, who was later appointed to a judgeship.
