Because the issue of fighting corruption, due to its economic and social effects on the country, is related to the development process and is a great interest in maintaining the legitimacy of the political system. The issue of “conflict of interest” has become one of the most important issues in recent years and has occupied the minds of many communities in different countries, especially those living in affluent countries. The legislature does not fundamentally condemn a situation in which it is impossible to succeed, but rather fails to disclose it to the official apparatus. At the end of the day, while the government employee has fulfilled his duties and obligations, and if there is no conflict between the employee’s confidential interest and the public interest, there does not have to be a violation, but the official must make a vital condition and that is The employee should not advise his / her administrative manager about this dispute.
