On the instructions of Cabinet, I have today circulated the Draft Integrity In Public Life (Amendment) Bill and Draft Anti-Corruption Bill to Non-Governmental Organizations and Civil Society Organizations including the St. Kitts Integrity Commission, St. Kitts & Nevis Bar Association, St.Kitts National Youth Parliament Association (SKNYPA), St. Kitts Nevis Chamber of Industry and Commerce, etc. for their input on these important Draft Bills.
We must be the generation that destroys the cancer of corruption in our society. Creating meaningful legislation is the first step. Changing the culture of Treasury Abuse is the next step.
A link to access the Draft Bills will shortly be provided on the St.Kitts and Nevis Information Service – SKNIS Facebook page and website. If you wish to share your thoughts on the Draft Bills, send an email to [email protected] with your recommendations before the end of November 2022.
We welcome, and will consider, everyone’s input before the final drafts of the Bills are presented for debate in the National Assembly. The Draft Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill will similarly be circulated in the near future.
