East Timor's new Anti-Corruption Commissioner, Aderito Soares, says better co-ordination is needed with the country's Prosecutor's Office to avoid adding to the existing backlog of graft cases. There have been doubts about the effectiveness of the new Commission, but Mr Soares says he's aiming for generational change as well as prosecutions in court.
