The Ombudsman’s Awards Scheme was introduced in 1997. In 1999, the Scheme was extended to honour individual public officers for their efforts in contributing to a fair, open, accountable and efficient public administration. In 2011, the scope of the Awards was further extended to recognise public officers’ efforts in handling enquiries and complaints relating to the Code on Access to Information.
