Declare assets to the Integrity Commission

Nov 21, 2018 Letters

Dear Editor,

Stabroek News of Sunday 11th November, 2018 reported that the Integrity Commission named 87 public officials who failed to submit the declaration of their assets to the Integrity Commission in keeping with the law. The Commission listed Ministers, the Speaker of the National Assembly, Opposition Parliamentarians, and other public officials.
The Chairman, Mr. Kumar Doraisami, and Members of the Integrity Commission must be commended for calling on these high public officials to obey the law, which they themselves made.
President David Granger and the Opposition Leader, Bharat Jagdeo, must demand public accountability from the Speaker, Ministers and the Parliamentarians. The public is pleased with this approach by the Integrity Commission.
Please keep the general public and the citizen voters informed regularly of non-compliance and take promptly the required legal recourse in keeping with the law.
It may also be appropriate for the Commissioner General of GRA to intervene as may be appropriate without fear or favour. What of SOCU and SARA? Off you go.
What an example and message being sent to the national community from Ministers, the Speaker of the National Assembly, and Members of the National Assembly. What a shame! The people must be informed of compliance by these public officials.

Yours faithfully,
Joshua Singh
