  1. GCCI OAS Anti-Corruption Mechanism Review

  2. Civil Society Participation • Gov’t has not done much to Involve Civil Society as indicative in response • Openness to civil society to craft internal anti-corruption policy • Civil society organizations find it difficult to access information on public officials; IC will improve; Public forum for reporting suspicious wealth accumulation by public officers etc…

  3. CSP Cont’d • From PS perspective: Not much done by PS Organizations (GCCI, PSC, GMSA, etc); exception being “Code of Conduct”; Due to lack of financial capacity • PS is involved at all transaction Level; collusion occurs with public officers; Government Funding necessary for ant-corruption sensitization campaign through PS Orgs.; Cost of inaction greater than consequence • National PR Campaign necessary; e.g “Bribing Hurts You” Campaign

  4. Access to Public Information • -Satisfactory strides in this area as per recommendation 4.2 • -Access to Information Act Passed in 2011; Minister of Information appointed in 2013 as per Gov’t account • -More to be done for measure Measure B---Government or Cabinet website detailing (financial and technical) all major government initiatives

  5. Systems for registering Income, Assets and Liabilities • -Application of Mandate of IC and ICA and Enforcement is needed in this area; Political compromise necessary (highlighted in Gov’t response) for Choosing Commissioners and Chairperson • -Parliamentary or preferably civil society body to administer measure E

  6. Conflicts of Interests • Adequate mechanisms to reduce COI as per gov’t response • Lack of political accommodation to ensure strengthened IC • Commissions and Boards should be Chaired by Technocratic Professionals • Establish Procurement Commission as per constitution • Cabinet Code of Conduct is great initiative
