Articles 29–30 of the Anti-Corruption Act of 2001 describe the procedure for dealing with whistle-blowing cases involving public officials. According to Article 29, Section 3, the KICAC refers the investigation of a whistleblowing case involving a public official to the BAI, an investigative agency, 31 Combating Corruption in the Asia-Pacific Countries or an agency in charge of supervising the relevant public agency.
